Control of the City Asbury Park City Council remains with the incumbent Asbury Together ticket comprised of Amy Quinn, Yvonne Clayton and Eileen Chapman.

“We want to thank the voters in Asbury Park who came out to support us today,” said Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn, who was the top vote getter with 2,142 votes. “We are deeply humbled and happy to continue serving the community.”

The incumbents were challenged by the Citizens for Asbury Park ticket comprised of community leader and Zoning Board of Adjustment member Daniel Harris, and Board of Education members Kenneth Saunders Jr and Stephen Williams.

“I’m so excited,” Clayton said. “What this means is that we get to continue what we started and see it come to fruition. There are so many wonderful things that will be happening — developement all over the city, We have a new transportation planner, and we get to address some of the public’s concerns.”
