Wainstein was raised in Argentina.[2] A resident of Union City, New Jersey, Wainstein graduated from Memorial High School in West New York, New Jersey, and from Saint Peter's University.[3]
Running with the support of Brian P. Stack, Wainstein announced that he would be challenging Democratic incumbent Julio Marenco, who ultimately dropped out of the race in February 2025.[4] Rodriguez and Wainstein won the June primary, defeating a rival slate of candidates supported by Nicholas Sacco.[5] In the 2025 New Jersey General Assembly election in November, Wainstein and running mate Gabe Rodriguez defeated their Republican opponents by a better than 3–1 margin.[6]
