Register Here To Watch The Oct. 22 Middletown Twp. Committee Debate

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — We told you last week there would be a debate between Middletown Mayor Tony Perry and challenger Mike Morris, both running for the one Township Committee seat up for election this November.

And now, here are details on how to register and watch the debate, plus submit your questions beforehand:

The virtual forum will be held at 7 p.m. October 22 and is hosted by the Monmouth County League of Women Voters. The forum will be held over a Zoom Webinar platform that accommodates a live audience of 500. Registration is required. Visit bit.ly/middletowncommittee to register in advance.

A trained League moderator who does not live in Middletown will moderate the forum. Questions may be submitted during the registration process or by email to lwvforum2024@gmail.com and putting “Middletown Committee” in the subject line.

Perry, a Republican, is asking voters to re-elect him. He is challenged by Morris, a Democrat. Morris is a longtime resident of Middletown, and he also writes the MiddletownMike news and opinion blog.

A Democrat has not been elected to the Middletown Township Committee since 2011, when Sean Byrnes won a seat on the Township Committee.
