Government

Local government

Lakehurst is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[5] The Borough form of government used by Lakehurst, the most common system used in the state, is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[33][34]

As of 2015, the Mayor of Lakehurst Borough is Republican Harry Robbins, whose term of office ends December 31, 2015. Members of the Lakehurst Borough Council are Council President Steven Oglesby (R, 2016), Robin Busch (R, 2017), Stephen F. Childers (R, 2016; appointed to serve an unexpired term), James W. Davis, Jr. (R, 2015), Patricia A. Hodges (R, 2017) and Gary Lowe (R, 2015).[4][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]

In August 2015, the Borough Council selected former mayor Stephen F. Childers to fill the unexpired term ending in December 2016 of Glenn McComas, who had resigned from office the previous month as he was moving out of the borough.[43]

New Jersey's Fourth Congressional District is represented by Christopher Smith (R).[48] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Cory Booker (D, Newark, term ends 2021)[49] and Bob Menendez (D, Paramus, 2019).[50][51]

For the 2014-15 Session, the 10th District of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by James W. Holzapfel (R, Toms River Township) and in the General Assembly by Gregory P. McGuckin (R, Toms River Township) and David W. Wolfe (R, Brick Township).[52] The Governor of New Jersey is Chris Christie (R, Mendham Township).[53] The Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey is Kim Guadagno (R, Monmouth Beach).[54]

Ocean County is governed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders consisting of five members, elected on an at-large basis in partisan elections and serving staggered three-year terms of office, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election.[55] At an annual reorganization held in the beginning of January, the board chooses a Director and a Deputy Director from among its members. As of 2015, Ocean County's Freeholders (with party affiliation, term-end year, residence and department directorship listed in parentheses) are Freeholder Director John C. Bartlett, Jr. (R, term ends December 31, 2015, Pine Beach; Finance, Parks and Recreation),[56] Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little (R, 2015, Surf City; Human Services),[57] John P.

Vicari (R, 2017, Toms River; Senior Services and County Operations).[60][61][62] Constitutional officers elected on a countywide basis are County Clerk Scott M. Colabella (R, 2015, Barnegat Light),[63][64] Sheriff Michael Mastronardy (R, 2016; Toms River)[65] and Surrogate Jeffrey Moran (R, 2018, Beachwood).[66][67]

Public school students from Lakehurst in ninth through twelfth grades attend Manchester Township High School in Manchester Township, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Manchester Township School District.[78]

The Lakehurst district decided in 2012 against a proposal that would have had borough students attend Jackson Liberty High School as part of a sending / receiving relationship with the Jackson School District. The change in the sending relationship had been considered as a means of reducing the costs associated with paying $14,000 for each of the 150 students attending Manchester High School, as opposed to the $11,300 that would have been paid at Jackson, yielding annual savings of $400,000, less the added cost of transporting students to and from Jackson.[79]
