Dems in Search of New Mayoral Candidate

Democratic Town Committee Chairman Dan Russo is confident that the party will have a candidate to run in the upcoming mayor election. Democratic candidate Ron Klattenberg dropped out of the race this morning because of medical issues.

"There are currently a couple of people evaluating considering a run for mayor," Russo said in a phone interview this morning. "We hope, in the next month, to get a candidate up and running."

"We're very sorry that Ron is not going to run," Russo said. "Ron helped us by getting off to an early start, but we'll have plenty of time to get another campaign in place. And Ron will run for Common Council again and will be active in supporting the Democratic mayoral candidate who does decide to run."

Mayor Sebastian Giuliano said he thought Klattenberg had made the correct decision.

"I was looking forward to the race," Giuliano said. "But Ron had made the right move, and made the more important decision to make sure he stays healthy."

When asked whether he thought he would be running unopposed, Giuliano said that he was sure the Democrats would field a candidate for the race.

On Saturday, September 13th, the Barack Obama Campaign and Matt Lesser for State Representative Campaign will be joining together for a voter registration drive in Middletown.

"In fact," Lopez emphasized, "There will be high school and college students who aren't eligible to vote, who will be working their tails off to register new voters."

All completed voter registration cards will be delivered to Middletown's registrar of voters on Monday.
