Your Middletown
Middletown Democrats are Listening to YOU!
The Middletown Township Committee isn't putting families first. They're focusing on big projects and raising property taxes without considering our needs. Instead of improving things like schools and roads, it seems they're more concerned with outside influences than our community's concerns.
Middletown’s Democrats are focused on the issues that matter most to Middletown families and taxpayers:
Respecting Our Fellow Taxpayers
Supporting Working Families
Protecting Reproductive Rights
Promoting LGBTQIA+ Equality
Preserving Our Environment
Directly Electing Our Mayor
Representing Our Neighborhoods Fairly
Participating in Our Township's Growth
Election Day is November 5th!

Did you know we don’t elect our mayor?
It’s true! Our mayor is selected by council members who are elected every three years, and they strategically choose from amongst themselves who will be mayor. This selection is directly along party lines.
The mayor is appointed, you can’t vote for one.
Do you know how many council members we have in Middletown?
Only 5! That’s one elected committee member for roughly every 11,000 residents of Middletown.
On top of this, our five-person committee is (and has been) 100% Republican since 2010, even though nearly 40% of the Township votes Democratic. And these five Republicans never cast a dissenting vote. A truly representative government means that all of its residents have a seat at the table, and that different voices are part of the discussion.
Dialogue, not groupthink, drives the best decisions
Who decides what’s important in Middletown?
Taxpayers should decide what’s important, but that’s not how it really works.
In Middletown, big decisions about land use, open space, and development are made by political appointees who don’t answer to the voters. Our town deserves a government that listens to what’s important to our residents from the big picture of open space and development, down to the details of potholes and traffic signals.
From Lincroft to Leonardo, the issues facing you and your neighbors are what matters most.
What can I do to change things?
We deserve a government that reflects the needs of our diverse neighborhoods and growing population.
Vote in EVERY election year.
We pledge, if elected, to make fairer representation across our township a priority.
