CARTON CAN'T MAKE THE CASE THAT THERE AREN'T PLENTY OF QUALIFIED WOMEN IN THE GOP
MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP (MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ): According to Middletown Democrat Pat Walsh, "It seems that GOP Chairman Mr. Peter Carton has yet arrive in the twenty-first century, where women now commonly fill leadership positions in business, industry and politics. The Vice Chairman of the Middletown Republican Party is Clifford Raisch, while the chairman of the group is Peter Carton. It is common protocol that these leadership positions are normally held by two persons of opposite gender."
Walsh asked, "Why is there a complete void of a woman in such a key leadership position in the party, Middletown Democrat Pat Walsh said. Does the party chairman have something against women as leaders?"
While there are times when, for some extraordinary reasons in a community, there may be only two Republicans or Democrats in a given place who are active, and there should be an exception to the general rule in that case, this is not the situation in Middletown.
"By there being a male chairman and vice chairman in Middletown that is the Middletown Republican Party saying there is no woman either interested enough or qualified enough to hold the vice chair seat," Walsh said. "I think the fact of this situation is absolutely wrong given the number of talented and enthusiastic Republican women who live with our community."
Walsh, a former Middletown Republican, said she does not know if Carton's decision to go with a male vice chair marks any other decisions he has made about women holding office in behind-the-scenes party politics. "But, it sure isn't the best sign of the state of affairs in the Middletown Republican Party," she said.
