Four Candidates File For Three Holmdel Board Of Education Spots

HOLMDEL, NJ — Four candidates have filed petitions to run for the three seats open in this year's Board of Education election in Holmdel, including the current board president and a three-member team of candidates.

The filing deadline was Monday, July 31, and the number of candidates remained unchanged from those who filed last week.

Board President Peter Reddy, who has served three terms, filed a petition for re-election with the Monmouth County Clerk of Elections office for the November election.

A three-member slate of candidates has also filed for election, the county has confirmed:

Alison LoPresti, Anthony Libecci and Reham Taha are all designated as the Parental Rights & Education team and have filed petitions with the county.

Reddy said he's looking forward to continuing to serve on the board, drawing on his experience. He said the district has an excellent academic track record.

The team of LoPresti, Libecci and Taha "supports your rights as parents and will work together to identify educational improvements to ensure academic success for our students," said LoPresti. "We look forward to discussing our platform and engaging with the community throughout our campaign."

Apart from Reddy's term, there are two other terms expiring at the end of the year, that of board members Eileen Briamonte and Linda Zhang.

No other petitions were filed as of the deadline.

Other board members whose terms are continuing include Chris DiMare, Jeff D. Mann and John Buckley, who all won election in 2022 on the Save Holmdel Schools team.

Other board members who are mid-term are Kimberly Tuccillo, Surekha Collur and Terence Wall.
