New Mayor Promises To Do What’s Best For Brick

By Chris Lundy

BRICK – As a councilwoman, Lisa Crate said she was guided by one principle: “Do what’s best for Brick.”

As part of John Ducey’s team, she said that when making a decision, that factor weighed more heavily than any other.

Ducey spent 10 years as mayor. He stepped down to become a State Superior Court judge, and Crate was appointed by her fellow council members to step up. Her appointment was unanimous.

“It’s a great honor and responsibility. I don’t take it lightly,” she said.

The next few years, residents should expect to see the furthering of the mayor and council’s vision to improve the day-to-day lives of Brick residents, she said. Some of the plans include electric vehicle charging locations
