Hazlet 2022 Election: Newcomer Wins Seat On School Board

HAZLET, NJ — Lisa Brown, who was one of four candidates seeking election to three full-term seats on the Hazlet Board of Education, received the most votes in the Nov. 8 school board election.

Brown challenged three incumbents on the school board, and she said she would preserve its "conservative approach."

In her campaign, she said she "decided to run when I heard about the new health and sex education curricula the State of New Jersey had passed. There is a very progressive agenda being pushed on our children and I am not OK with it." Here is her profile in Patch to learn more about her views.

"I want to sincerely thank the residents of Hazlet for electing me. It will be my honor to serve our kids and their families. I promise to always work with their best interests in mind," Brown said.

Here are the unofficial votes for the candidates:

• Lisa A. Brown - 3,831
• David E. Asfour - 2,520
• Edward Barrett - 3,306
• Laura A. O'Hara - 3,670

The unofficial winners are Brown and incumbents O'Hara and Barrett.

Mail-in votes could still be counted up to six days after the election, after which the Monmouth County elections office certifies the results.
