HOLMDEL, NJ - Rocco Impreveduto was selected by Holmdel Township voters Tuesday night to appear on the November ballot for Holmdel Township Committee, according to unofficial results from the Monmouth County Clerk's Office.

Republican Impreveduto will now face head-to-head this November with Democrat Rahul Diddi, who ran unopposed on Tuesday. Both are seeking outgoing committeeman Tom Critelli’s seat on the governing body.

Ronald E. Emma (who ran alongside mayor Greg Buontempo in the 2020 committee race) was unsuccessful in garnering enough votes, earning just over 40 percent of 1,769 total votes cast.

Here's how each candidate fared:

Republicans
Rocco Impreveduto: 1,052 votes (59.47%)
Ron E. Emma: 715 votes (40.42%)

Democrats
Rahul Diddi: 381 votes (98.96%)

Impreveduto, 44, is a marketing and digital transformation executive and has been a resident of Holmdel for eight years. A graduate of both Holmdel High School and Penn State University, he was previously elected as the vice chairman representing Holmdel for the Monmouth County Republican Committee.
