Monmouth County election officials said that it will likely take until 4am to complete the count of ballots in today’s election.

With approximately 60% of the vote counted, Republican Freeholders Lillian Burry and Gary Rich are leading Democratic challengers Lawrence Luttrell and Giueseppe “Joe” Grillo by over 6,000 votes.

Burry 51,211, Rich 51,594, Luttrell 45,123, Grillo 43,199.

 

MMM does not see a path for the Democrats to make up their deficit and calls the race for Burry and Rich.

Congratulations!

    Thanks Art.

    Great job through the entire election cycle. I learned much I didn’t know and met some people (through your forum) I was not that familiar with. Some very smart people and a few that seem almost dangerous and help me realize how important it is to stay involved.

    Congrats to Freeholders Burry & Rich on a dignified and well fought and positive race. As do many others, Monmouth County Chairman Golden certainly deserves a round of applause.

    As I have been “boots on the ground” for Sandy projects for the last two years, I have a rather unique perspective of the progress being made, or not.

    I think we all owe a debt of gratitude to all the Monmouth County Freeholders. They have not only weathered the fiscal storm but Monmouth has come out on the other side stronger and more efficient.

    Even more important I think we have all become closer to our friends in other towns. After all we are all in this together and there is still more work to do.

    We are fortunate to live here and raise our families in Monmouth.

    Thanks Art.
