Under their leadership, the campaign said the Township Committee has taken major steps in preserving open space in Holmdel, with the expected acquisition of Potter’s Farm, supporting the Holmdel School District through a $600,000 shared services agreement, and enhancing public safety with free supplemental EMS support.

These efforts are just the latest steps forward for a committee that has “all but erased the divisiveness and acrimony of past leaders and focused on public service over politics,” the campaign said.

“We’re excited to have received unanimous support to seek re-election,” Foster and LaMountain said. “We’re proud of our record of service and the steps we’re taking to preserve our community, and we’re enthusiastically looking toward Holmdel’s future.”

“Brian and Kim have met the moment as leaders of our town,” McMullen said of the pair. “They’ve earned a chance at another 3 years, and we know they’ll keep moving Holmdel forward.”

The primary election will take place on June 10, 2025.
