Meet Hermes Vallejo

Nearly 40 years ago, Vallejo moved to Hillsborough and graduated from Hillsborough High School. Having earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Rutgers University, Vallejo is Vice President of Information Technology at global medical technology company Becton Dickinson. Throughout his career, Vallejo has managed global teams, multi-million-dollar programs, and delivered solutions that transformed operations. He has been an advocate for improving healthcare through technology, while also being a champion and sponsor for diversity, education and volunteer programs to assist those in need.

“I am thankful and truly honored to receive the Democratic Party’s endorsement, and I am passionate about making this town a better place to live where all residents have an equal voice,” Vallejo said. “I’ve watched Hillsborough grow and change throughout my life, and it’s not always been for the better.  As a member of this community, I am committed to protecting our quality of life, creating transparency into our government, and ensuring all residents have a voice. We face significant challenges today due to poor historical decisions that have resulted in over-development, increased flooding, increased pressure on our infrastructure / services and school system, all despite our rising taxes.”

Vallejo and his multi-generational family continue to live in town, one mile from where he was raised.
