He sought re-election to his Assembly seat in 1989 but was defeated by incumbent Democrat John Paul Doyle and former Democratic Assemblywoman Marlene Lynch Ford (the latter of whom Singer defeated in the 1985 and 1987 elections). In the Assembly,Singer was the majority whip from 1992 to 1993. Senator Singer had served on the Lakewood Township Committee since 1981,and was its mayor in 1983,from 1985 to 1986,1994,and again in 2009 until retiring in 2010. He has been on the Monmouth-Ocean Development Council board of directors since 2001 and from 1996 to 1999 and the Lakewood Municipal Utility Authority since 1999 as chair.

Incumbent 30th district State Senator John E. Dimon announced that he would not seek re-election in 1993 due to poor health. Singer ran in the primary unopposed and became the Republican nominee for the November general election. [4] Singer was selected by Republican committee members of the district to serve the unexpired Senate term of the late John E. Dimon and was sworn into office on October 14,1993. [5] He had simultaneously held a seat in the New Jersey Senate and as Mayor until 2010 when he chose to not seek re-election to the Lakewood Township Committee. Singer had been a member of the Township Committee for nearly thirty years. Prior to retiring from the Lakewood Township Committee,dual office holding was allowed under a grandfather clause in the state law enacted by the New Jersey Legislature and signed into law by Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine in September 2007 that prevents dual-office-holding but allows those who had held both positions as of February 1,2008,to retain both posts.
