City Councilman Tom Rotondi submitted his nominating petitions Monday, joining five other candidates in a crowded field vying for three at-large Council seats in Ocean City’s May 10 municipal election.
He was joined by his wife, Stephanie, and their children, Tommy, 8, Celeste, 4, and Joey, 2, while turning in his petitions to City Clerk Melissa Rasner.
Rotondi, 43, currently serves as the Second Ward councilman, but will now seek an at-large seat representing the entire city on the governing body. He was elected to his first term on Council in 2020.
“I’m proud of the work we, as Council, have been able to do in the less than two years since I have been elected to serve this community. Although the needs of my family have changed, my passion and commitment to this town has not. I am seeking the at-large seat so that I can continue to lead and be able to have the flexibility to meet the housing needs of my growing family,” he said in a statement.

Ocean City Councilman Tom Rotondi expressed his concerns about the recent legalization of recreational marijuana at his Second Ward Zoom meeting Saturday.
The Second Ward encompasses the south side of Fourth Street to the north side of 12th Street.
On Monday, Governor Gov. Phil Murphy signed three bills to legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older and to decriminalize it for people under 21.
The married father of three and former police officer said he was “extremely frustrated over the law.”
“I think from the city and countywide perspective, the law is bad. Adults will do what they are going to do and the people of New Jersey spoke and it passed,” Rotondi said. “It is here to stay but if kids are caught with marijuana parents should be notified.” A direct rebuke of the bill(A5342) Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law on Monday.
