Ocean City Councilman Peter Buas, elected in 2020, has officially filed for mayor against long-time Mayor Rick Meehan, who has been mayor since 2006 and previously a councilman dating back to 1985. Buas is expected to make remarks today following newcomer Jake Mitrecic’s filing at City Hall. Mitrecic plans to seek one of the four open City Council seats this fall. Mitrecic is the son of County Commissioner Joe Mitrecic, who was a city councilman prior to become a commissioner, and is a member of the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals. Councilman John Gehrig also filed for re-election today.
In the press release released today, Buas said, “For as long as I can remember, I’ve known that Ocean City represents something special that no place else in the world has to offer. This town has given so much to my family and me, and I am deeply committed to giving back in every way I can. … Our town has grown, thrived, and endured thanks to the guidance and dedication of our residents, businesses, town staff, and partners. Now, we stand ready for a new chapter—one that calls for a fresh perspective and renewed commitment to our shared vision for the future. Our collective goals are clear. We seek quality growth, cleanliness, safety, and a government that delivers excellent service. The role of Mayor is critical in ensuring we achieve these goals together.”
