Here's Who Filed For Holmdel Township Committee In 2021

HOLMDEL, NJ - One seat is up for grabs on the Holmdel Township Committee this year, and three candidates have filed for a spot.

Committeeman Tom Critelli’s term is up this year but did not file for re-election.

Impreveduto, 44, is a marketing and digital transformation executive and has been a resident of Holmdel for eight years.
