Justin Coussoule (pronounced kuh-soo-lee) was born and raised in Adams, the son of a self-employed carpenter and a small business owner. He graduated in 1993 from Hoosac Valley High School[15] and in 1997 from West Point [15] where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in American Politics with a Systems Engineering minor. He then served in the U.S. Army as a commissioned officer attaining the rank of captain. He left the U.S. Army in 2002 to attend the University of Maryland School of Law in Baltimore where he received a Juris Doctor (law degree). He was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar and was hired as an associate attorney at a regional law firm where he worked in the litigation department. Coussoule practiced primarily in the state Worker’s Compensation system, advocating on behalf of injured workers to secure payment of their compensation and benefits for work-related injuries. He also worked at one time as a purchasing manager at Procter and Gamble.

Coussoule announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives on February 18, 2010, in Hamilton, Ohio. He has said “I’m running because I think that we are facing big issues right now that need long-term solutions, thoughtful approaches. I’m afraid these things will be around for my kids, they are only 2 and 4, 30 years from now if we don’t act like adults and address them now. In particular when you consider who my opponent is. I would consider him the chief architect of ‘No’ and obstructionism and delay.” [16] He won the May 4th primary where he ran unopposed.[17] with 17,807 votes [11]. He also says he is running for Congress because “the people of the 8th District have been ignored and taken for granted by our Representative in Congress”.[18]
