Brick\u2019s Democratic and Republican organizations both elected municipal chairs and vice-chairs this week, party officials said.<\/p>\n

A highly-publicized contest<\/a> between Mayor John Ducey and Councilman Jim Fozman ended with Ducey emerging as the winner and new municipal chair. Robyn Gedrich, a recent appointee to the Brick Township Housing Authority board, will serve as vice-chair.<\/p>\n

On the GOP side, two former council members will become leaders of their party. Brian DeLuca and Ruthanne Scaturro, who both served on council, were elected chair and vice-chair, respectively.<\/p>\n

The Republican chairmanship selection went \u201cvery smoothly and without opposition,\u201d said Republican Club President John Catalano, surely a nod toward the Democrats\u2019 contested race. \u201cWe are one united committee looking to do the best for Brick Township.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ducey, who spoke to Shorebeat before the selection, said he plans on making the Democratic organization more visible in town and more active in community service events.<\/p>\n
