Early Life and Background
Paolo “PJ” Andreetti was born in Montreal to Italian immigrant parents who settled in Canada in the early 1960s. Growing up as the fourth of five children, Paolo experienced a multicultural upbringing that deeply influenced his values and sense of community.
Family Values
Paolo is a very proud father of his beautiful teenaged daughter and their Golden Doodle named Saki. Paolo fully understands first-hand the real challenges and rewards of being a single parent.
Paolo is currently furthering his studies in Political Sciences in the Father Leopold-Taillon Pavilion at the University of Moncton.
Education and Early Career
PJ pursued his university education in Montreal and later attended college in Ottawa. His early career included a brief stint in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve and several years working in correctional services. These roles equipped him with a strong foundation in public service and discipline. He now studies Political Science at University of Moncton.
Service with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
In 2005, PJ joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). His service took him across Canada, from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, to the Westmorland and Albert region of New Brunswick. For over a decade, he dedicated himself to protecting and serving the communities of Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview, before retiring in 2022.
Paolo places a thief under arrest on Vail street in Moncton East. This was during his service to the public as an RCMP officer and happened in 2009.
Community Connection and Vision
Since moving to New Brunswick in 2009, PJ has developed a deep connection with the greater Moncton area, where his daughter was born. His experiences on the streets of Moncton, receiving gestures of kindness from the community, have reinforced his commitment to public service.
PJ is now seeking to serve the Moncton community in a new capacity as a Member of the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly (MLA). He aims to bring the same dedication, discipline, and empathy that characterized his RCMP career to his political role. PJ is committed to listening to the voices of his constituents, understanding their needs, and representing their interests with integrity and diligence.
PJ’s candidacy for MLA is driven by a profound and demonstrated respect for all residents of Moncton East. He has an ongoing desire to continue serving its citizens and enhancing their overall quality of life. He asks for the opportunity to prove his commitment and effectiveness over one term, with the promise of seeking a second term only if his constituents are satisfied with his performance.

What People Are Saying
I decided to support Paolo because we need a big change with everything costing more like food, gas, power and more. Paolo is the kind of representative I believe will fight for the changes we need. As a former peace officer working with Paolo on calls to service, I trusted his judgement and integrity. Today, as a business owner I know I can count on Paolo's candor to be the community leader we are in need of.
"Knowing Paolo, he will definitely be a good fit for the Progressive Conservative. Not only does Paolo have a background in public service, his sense of responsibility and integrity will help him lead, make decisions and guide the community in the right direction."
