Official Results: A Complete Democratic Sweep

Democrats were the top vote getters yesterday, by a large margin in every race.

11,768 people voted, 594 by absentee ballot, and 144 using Election Day Registration. In total, 42% of registered voters cast a ballot.

Names in bold will be seated. Note that because of rules that restrict the maximum number of people from one party, Republicans with fewer votes than Democrats will be seated on the Board of Education and the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Pretty cool that that the land conservation question passed by a 7 : 2 ratio. What a great town!

I wish to give thanks to all of our citizens who worked to pass the open space bond -- those who made signs, passed out flyers, spread the word to friends and neighbors, posted on social media, and most of all to everyone who voted for the issue. Those of us on the Commission on Conservation and Agriculture are committed to using a careful ranking system to assess land for purchase; we do our best to maintain trails wherever possible; and we look forward to preserving land in Middletown for the good of all our citizens. I do agree that this is a great town to live in, with a thriving downtown, with wild areas for recreation, with active farmland, and with many parks. We are fortunate indeed.
