STATEMENT FROM MAYOR MATT MOENCH ON OPPONENTS’ CANDIDATE SWAP

June 22, 2023

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Michael Kirsh, Tim Ring and I started on this journey in February of 2019 with the specific
intent of flushing out the special interests that had hijacked Dan Hayes’ failed administration and returning our local government back to the people who actually live here. We succeeded in that mission and it would be an understatement to say we welcome the contrast between Dan’s record and the successes we’ve had over the last four years getting Bridgewater back on track.”

“Though he has switched parties, it is unlikely that he has switched his true allegiance, which has
always been to the developers, lobbyists, and insiders who have funded his campaigns from the
beginning and from whom he has always taken his marching orders. It is that shadowy group of
out-of-town special interests that are rejoicing today. Working together, we will fight hard to
make sure they have no cause to rejoice this November.”

– Matt Moench, Mayor, Township of Bridgewater
