Asbury Park Mayor Election 2026: Quinn Vs. Sciannameo

ASBURY PARK, NJ —Polls are closed in the 2026 midterms and the votes are being counted in the race for Asbury Park mayor and city council.

From the Monmouth County Clerk, here are the unofficial results as they come in in real time Tuesday night:

For mayor:

Amy Quinn: 742

Dan Sciannameo: 471

For city council, choose three:

Garrett Giberson - not currently on the Council: 374

Al DiGiulio - not currently on the Council: 529

Longtime Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn ran for mayor, with outgoing Mayor John Moor's backing, and she was challenged by Dan Sciannameo, a two-term member of the Asbury Park Planning Board.

In his campaign, Sciannameo made the planned renovation of Convention Hall a key issue — he is skeptical of the renovation, and the $75 million in tax breaks the state gave the developer, and called it "politically motivated to benefit Amy" in an election year.

Sciannameo also accused Quinn of running a culture of friendship and favoritism in City Hall — "If you want something from city government, you better be in good standing with the deputy mayor. If you’re not, good luck to you."
