Michael A. Katz seeks Dem nomination for Middletown Township Committee

Michael A. Katz

Michael A. Katz, a 45 year old live long resident of Middletown, has thrown his hat into the ring for the Democratic nomination for Middletown Township Committee.

The Middletown Democrats only submitted one candidate for the two seats up this year.  The candidate who gets the most write-in votes in the primary tomorrow will likely join William E. Hutton on the Democratic slate against Republicans Deputy Mayor Stephanie Murray and Committeeman Tony Fiore.

Katz launched his campaign last week after MMM reported the vacancy and suggested that Democrats write-in Michael Morris.  Katz said he thinks he has as many as 50 write-in votes so far.  26 is the minimum required to get on the general election ballot.  If no candidate gets 26 write-in votes, only Hutton will appear on the ballot for the Democrats in November.

“The reason I would like to be on the Town Council is because I don’t want to make decisions because I know what’s good for you, but rather advocate your needs and concerns,” Katz said in a statement issued exclusively to MMM.

“I’d like to keep Middletown a town and not turn it into a big city.  We need to keep Middletown’s attraction by its landscape, not by how many stores and restaurants and movie theaters there are.

“Please vote for me so I can help bring change in favor of Middletown residents.  And maybe I can help stop this plan to build a giant Town Hall that will cost Middletown taxpayers a lot of money just so your incumbent Town Council can have a better office too hang in. Me personally I don’t need a fancy office to get things done.”

Katz, 45, is a married father of three.  He works as a union stage technician.

    Art – you are incredible!

    Are you sure he’s a democrat?

    This definitely disturbs me as MMM appears to be colluding with nefarious Russian oligarchs to interfere with our election system. LOL …another conspiracy for Mueller to investigate!

    an incredibly articulate guy who obviously has a deep and well-thought out understanding of the issues. Certainly the town can also use a union member negotiating with unions. Last time I looked Middletown had zero movie theatres and just lost two restaurants. Yup, this guy is really on top of the issues.
