May 23, 2007. Accessed January 28, 2012. "A textbook example of a guy who was taken in by the machine, who realized early the only way to survive in Hudson County politics is to build your own machine as a leveraging force, the Union City mayor (and assemblyman) stands to become the most powerful elected official in Hudson County if he prevails against the Hudson County Democratic Organization."〕 In 2012 ''The Hudson Reporter'' named him #2 in its list of Hudson County's 50 most influential people, behind North Bergen mayor Nicholas Sacco.〔Adriana Rambay Fernández, Stephen LaMarca, Gennarose Pope, Ray Smith, Al Sullivan and E.

Stack.〔〔 At a young age the Stack family moved to Union City,〔 living in an apartment building at 518 9th Street,〔 on the city's east side.〔 They subsequently moved to 713 Palisade Avenue, where for over twenty years Margaret worked as the superintendent of that building and the other adjoining buildings. They later moved to 1104 Palisade Avenue, which remained their residence until Edward and Margaret's deaths in 2003 and 2015, respectively.〔 Stack says he became involved in politics through his parents, who took him to political rallies in Union City.〔〔Torres, Agustin (February 19, 1986). "Brian Stack, at 19, is veteran of political wars". ''The Jersey Journal''.〕 The Stacks were active in their community, as their apartment was a hospitable place that was likened to "a stop for tenants and neighborhood people seeking assistance or advice." It was with his parents that Stack first began to participate in the practice of providing turkeys and holiday gifts to the needy, a practice that Stack would later institute as Mayor〔 As Stack explained to a reporter when he was 19, "I remember when I was about 6 or 7 years old being at the Doric Temple polling place on election day just sitting and listening to the local politicians. I would probably say I dedicated my high school years to politics when I guess I should have been more into school activities. My classmates would call me 'mayor'. But I always believed it's vitally important for young people to get involved. We are the future."〔 Stack graduated from Emerson High School. He attended Jersey City State College,〔〔 graduating with an M.A. in criminal justice.〔(Brian P. Stack ). Project Vote Smart.
