Before Bryk left his former residence in Brooklyn, New York, he took advantage of the Constitutional requirement that candidates for U.S. Senator or U.S. Representative live in the state in which they are campaigning by the day of the general election.

In 2023, he was elected one of Antrim's two members of the Contoocook Valley School Board.

He was the Democratic nominee for Hillsborough County Register of Probate in 2016 ^[4] and 2022 and the Democratic nominee for Hillsborough County Treasurer in 2018 and 2020. He is a Democratic nominee for State Representative from the Hillsborough County 30th District at the 2024 general election.

He is a former secretary and vice chairman of the Antrim Town Democratic Committee, a former delegate to the New Hampshire State Democratic Convention, and a Justice of the Peace.
