The board claims that Jere hired a new firefighter without permission of the board, and gave him a locker and uniform despite being uninsured.įor these two reasons, the board voted 4-0 in favor of terminating Jere on that day. All firefighter positions have to be approved by the board of trustees after application in order to fully insure the firefighters and the department. In 2021, Republican gubernatorial candidate John Ciattarelli won Brick by nearly 40 points.According to the board, Jere also hired another firefighter to her team without board approval. Republican Assemblyman John Catalano, whose 9th district includes Brick, already announced that will not seek re-election to a third term in the Assembly and instead will seek the Republican nomination for the state’s 13th-largest municipality. That person will then have to participate in a special election for the remaining two years of the term, with the primary and general elections held alongside this year’s regularly scheduled elections.ĭucey had been a rare Democrat in Ocean County to hold a public office and Republicans are eager to finally win back the seat which was held by the popular Democrat for nearly a decade. With his resignation creating a vacancy, the Democratic municipal committee will now submit three names to the Brick Township Council, which will choose a mayor from among those three options. With his confirmation now official, Ducey will resign his position as Mayor later this afternoon, as he noted during his committee hearing last week.ĭucey, who is also an attorney, has served as the mayor of Brick Township since 2014 following a two-year stint on the township council. The New Jersey state Senate voted today to approve the nomination of Brick Mayor John Ducey to the state Superior Court, just two months after Governor Phil Murphy first nominated him.
