Candidates are already emerging in the upcoming race for mayor in Bradley Beach, although the deadline for filing is still a month away.
Among the hopefuls are two current Borough Council members, Gary Engelstad and Julie Schreck.
Mayor Stephen Schueler announced earlier this year that he would not seek re-election after serving four terms as mayor.
Engelstad is in his second term as a councilman, having won the most votes in each of his elections. He said he feels this experience and support make him a prime candidate to take over the borough’s top position.
