Florsheim Will Run For Mayor

Ben Florsheim, a Democrat, and community outreach assistant for Senator Chris Murphy, has thrown his hat into the ring in the race for mayor.  Florsheim is one of five Democratic candidates who have declared in a run for the city's top spot.  He joins Mary Bartolotta, Geen Thazhampallath, Bill Russo and Valeka Clarke in a race that will likely be settled in a September primary.  Common Council member, and former mayor, Seb Giuliano is the only Republican who has joined the race.

Florsheim is a Wesleyan grad who has been active in local politics, and is a member of Middletown's Democratic Town Committee.
