Talerico Projected Winner In Eatontown Mayoral Primary

EATONTOWN, NJ — Two Democrats ran in Tuesday's primary to be mayor of Eatontown:

Eatontown Mayor Anthony Talerico Jr., a Democrat, is the projected winner, according to the Monmouth County Clerk. Talerico received 566 votes.

He was challenged in the primary by Jasmine Story, also a Democrat. She received 281 votes.

Story used to be an Eatontown councilwoman.

Story actually had to sue this past spring to get her name put on the ballot. Her petition to run was originally incorrectly rejected by the Eatontown town clerk; a Monmouth County Superior Court judge ruled the clerk was incorrect and made an error.

There are two seats up on the Eatontown town Council: Current Council members Kevin Gonzalez and Maria Grazia Escalante (both Republican) ran for re-election.

Also running for those two seats are Virginia East, Meir Araman, Todd Miller and Angela Brunelli, all Democrats.
