Mason congratulates Short, MT Dems

Dear Chairman Caliendo,

I would like to congratulate you, the Middletown Democrats and especially the man of the hour, Middletown Committeeman-Elect Patrick Short on an incredible win. For so many years, Middletown has been known as a Republican stronghold, but I guess those days are over.

I like the message you and your party and your candidate are putting out about inclusion and bringing people together for the common good. There is not enough unity on the municipal level when it comes to getting things done. Partisanship is really pretty ridiculous when it comes to getting the simple things done.

I know that Patrick is trying to reach out to his fellow Committee people in Middletown and I wish him the best of luck. The victory he accomplished, I am sure, could not have been possible without the support of so many Democrats and Republicans alike. That says a lot about your club and the caliber of your people.

All the best,

Glenn Mason
