East Brunswick Fire District 2 Fire Election
East Brunswick Fire District 2 Election in New Jersey 

The East Brunswick Fire District 2 election was held on February 18th, 2023. The Election was between incumbent's Wayne Lyons Sr. and William Grande, and newcomers Greg Prott and Mike Rosa. Two fire commissioner spots were open. Prott and Rosa were seen as underdogs in the district, but ran a hard-fought campaign, and pulled off an extreme upset, and unseated incumbents of 30+ years. The annual budget was also approved by voters 217 yes to 154 no.

This election marked a milestone in the district, as normally these types of elections have incredibly low voter turnout, however, this election saw a surge in voter turnout, almost reaching 1000 voters. This is most likely due in part to heavy campaigning by Prott and Rosa.
