Voters will go to the polls in Manansquan on Tuesday to choose a member of the borough’s council. The November 2 election resulted in a tie, after a recount, between Republican Robert Ferrante and Democrat Owen McCarthy.
If Ferrante is the winner on Tuesday, Republicans will lead the borough council with a 4-2 majority. Should McCarthy win, the council will be divided 3-3, with Democratic Mayor George Dempsey breaking the tie.
Sheriff Shaun Golden and Freeholder Tom Arnone braved the elements today to hit the campaign trail with Ferrante. Golden said, “We need to swing Manasquan into the Republican column. The voters deserve a fiscally conservative councilman like Bobby Ferrante.”
