Rick Causer
Newcomer Rick Causer pulled off a close victory in Red Bank on Tuesday night, unseating current Mayor Monty Millard in the race for the city’s District 2 commissioner spot.
Causer, 51, won 55 percent of the vote.
“I’m grateful that the people of Red Bank did this for me,” he said, “that they trust me enough to do this.”
Causer said one of the first changes he wants to make in office is to try to get rid of the tax increase commissioners passed earlier this year.
“The people seemed pretty upset about that, and I agreed with them,” he said. “That should never have happened.”
