InfoSilverio "Sal" Vega is an American Democratic Party politician, who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since 2006, where he represents the 33rd legislative district and simultaneously serves as Mayor of West New York.

Before being named to the Assembly, Vega represented District 7 on the Hudson County, New Jersey Board of Chosen Freeholders. District 7 includes the Town of Guttenberg, the Township of Weehawken and the Town of West New York. Vega served his eighth year as Chairman of the Board of Freeholders, the longest serving chairman in county history. Vega resigned from his position as Freeholder as of 5:00 p.m. on November 21, 2006, and West New York Commissioner Gerald Lange Jr. replaced Vega as Freeholder.

After Albio Sires was elected to fill the seat in New Jersey's 13th congressional district that had been vacated by Bob Menendez, Sires stepped down from his positions as Mayor of West New York and in the General Assembly, where he represented the 33rd legislative district. Vega was chosen to replace Sires as mayor of West New York. The Democratic district committee voted on November 21, 2006 to choose Vega to replace Sires in the Assembly, with Vega taking office on December 11, 2006.[1]
