Carteret is governed under theborough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[48] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions electedat-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes six members, who are elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[5] The borough form of government used by Carteret is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor canveto ordinances subject to anoverride by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[49][50]
As of 2023[update], themayor of Carteret isDemocrat Daniel J. Reiman, whose term of office ends December 31, 2026.

Naples (D, 2026).[3][51][52][53][54]
First elected in 2002, Reiman was paid an annual salary of $102,610 in 2016, placing him 13th among the highest-paid mayors in the state.[55] He has been elected for 6 consecutive elections, some of them unopposed.

In August 1990, a pipeline carrying jet fuel burst in Carteret. The Carteret Fire Department joined with personnel fromGATX Terminals Corporation and the Middlesex County Hazardous Materials Unit to construct a temporary dike to prevent the fuel from flowing into theArthur Kill.[69]
Up until 2011, Carteret would request help from fireboats of theFire Department of New York when there was a waterfront fire.[70] In 2011, through the assistance of aFEMA Port Security Grant, the department acquired its first fireboat.[71] The 27 feet (8.2 m) vessel cost $297,000.[72]
In December 2014, theCourier News reported on an investigation of serious sexual harassment targeting the department's sole female firefighter.[73]
