Election 2022: Fair Haven Candidates’ Round-Up & Factoids
** Editor’s note: All candidates were provided with the same questionnaire and at the same time. The responses are being published in the order in which they were received. At R-FH Retro, we strive for complete balance in coverage. All candidates were also offered the option of paid advertising in the form of linked photo campaign ads on this hyperlocal news website. Every year, both parties have accepted. This year, the Republicans declined. That is the only reason for the absence of Republican campaign ads. Republican candidates, after multiple efforts asking for a response to the questionnaire, did not respond. We do not endorse, but cite that a lack of response in this forum, as we know it, is a detriment to the public served. **
The notion in mind that an informed voter is a better voter, here are some facts that may enlighten and inspire whether or not you have cast your vote yet.

Focus: Falling for Sun-Drenched River Time
Sunny days and Mondays are a great way to start the week — especially in the fall with some river time in Rumson tossed in.
With river time, along the Navesink River, it’s all about warmth. Soaking up the sun while getting a soothing embrace from the river is the coziest it gets. Always a homecoming.
There’s nothing like the soul taking a dip in the sun-drenched riverfront. Falling for it all on a fall day. Never shaking off an ounce of its healing power. Taking it in, holding it for a lifetime.
There are more sunny fall river days to come this week. Take a look at the forecast from the National Weather Service …

Fair Haven Elections: A Chat with Mayoral Candidate Chris Rodriguez, Democrat
The mayoral race in Fair Haven pits two incumbents against one another: Republican Mayor Josh Halpern, who is running for his first full term after filling the unexpired term of former Mayor Ben Lucarelli; and, present Council President Chris Rodriguez, a Democrat who has served on the Fair Haven Borough Council since 2017 and is currently in the second year of his second full term.
Rodriguez’s first run for a council seat was in 2016. He lost that bid for election, but ended up serving in 2017 to fill the unexpired term of Aimee Humprheys who had resigned due to a move. He ran for his first full term in November of 2017 and won a full term, starting in 2018. He ran for a second term in 2020 and won. In all, he has served on the governing body for six years.

It was 10 years ago that the havoc wreaked by Superstorm Sandy left monumental wreckage in its wake in Sea Bright.
Once the ghost-town kind of calm settled in after the storm, people flocked from all over to witness the devastating damage done first hand.
One iconic spot that Sandy decimated, hoisting up its buildings and fiercely slamming them down onto twisted tar, was Sea Bright’s Donovan’s Reef.
