MIDDLETOWN, NJ — Not only is there a U.S. presidential election on Nov. 5, and a Middletown school board race, but two people are also running for one seat on the Middletown Township Committee:
Middletown Mayor Tony Perry, a Republican, will ask voters to re-elect him, and he is challenged by Mike Morris, a Democrat. Morris is a longtime resident of Middletown, and he also writes the MiddletownMike news and opinion blog.
The two men will face off in a virtual forum held Oct. 22 and organized by the Monmouth County League of Women Voters. Both Morris and Perry confirmed to Patch they will be participating in the forum, which will be held virtually over Zoom.

The League of Women Voters said Friday morning they do not have the Zoom sign-up ready to be published yet, but they confirmed the forum will happen. As they do with other debates, a woman from the League will moderate the forum, and will take questions from the public beforehand.
Stay tuned for info. on how to register to watch, and submit your questions beforehand. That information will be coming Monday, Oct. 7.
A Democrat has not been elected to the Middletown Township Committee since 2011, when Sean Byrnes won a seat on the Township Committee.
