MIDDLETOWN, Calif. — On Thursday, the Middletown Area Town Hall held its first meeting of the year, during which it chose its leadership for 2024.

MATH’s annual board election took place at the end of a meeting which also featured a forum for the candidates in the District 1 supervisorial race.

Four candidates ran for a two-year term: incumbent Bill Waite, Nanette DeDonato, 2023 alternate Julia Bono and Lisa Kaplan.

After the candidates spoke the votes were cast and tallied.

DeDonato, Waite and Kaplan won terms, and Bono and Rosemary Cordova accepted roles as alternates.

They will join Chair Monica Rosenthal and Secretary Ken Gonzalez.

The MATH Board will elect officers and report the results back at the February meeting.
