Who's Running For Middletown Township Committee This Fall?

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — In the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, who can forget 2020 is an election year? And it's not just at the presidential level, as President Trump seeks to secure a second term.

In Middletown, there will be a Township Committee race this November. There are two open seats. The Republicans are Patricia Snell, a Committeewoman running to keep her seat. And Ryan Clarke is running alongside her; he hopes to fill the seat Tony Fiore held for the past five terms. Fiore, also a Republican, announced in March that he would not be running again, citing that his work is too demanding.

Both Snell and Clarke are running with the backing of the Monmouth County Republican Organization.

The Democrats running are Paul Jansen and Marguerite Stocker. They are running with the backing of the Monmouth County Democratic Party. Stocker has been a Middletown District 10 Democratic Party representative for several years now.

The primary election has been pushed back to July 7. But the primary is not contested in Middletown, as there are two open seats and two Democrats and two Republicans running. The general election is in November. Stay tuned for interviews with all four local Middletown candidates!
