MAMAKATING — Mamakating residents made their voices heard Tuesday as they exercised their electoral muscle at various polling places throughout the day. Cross-Endorsed Democratic/Conservative candidate and current Deputy Supervisor Peter Goodman secured his ‘good win’ as he amassed 1,399 votes to become the new Town of Mamakating Supervisor. As Goodman vacates his current Ward 1 Councilman position, current Supervisor and Republican/Conservative cross-endorsed candidate Michael Robbins plans to step down and continue to keep that seat warm on the Town Board, assuming his new Ward 1 Councilman position with 228 votes under his belt. The race for Ward 3 Council Member between cross-endorsed Democratic/Conservative candidate Matthew Mordas and cross-endorsed Republican/Mamakating First candidate Dino Orfanos concluded with Mordas nailing a comfortable win with 209 votes to Orfanos’s 150.

Hello. I am Matthew Mordas, Mamakating Town Councilman for Ward 3 and I’m running for re-election. I’m running to help continue the renaissance our Town government is experiencing. We are in an era of open, transparent government with an emphasis on working across the aisle and service for our citizens – not special interests. In 2003, I moved to Mamakating from Nanuet, NY. I fell in love with Mamakating, especially its beauty.

Many of them served our community in various capacities – firemen, members of the VFW, Town employees, etc. This inspired me to get involved. A friend who knew about my education and work experience (a degree in Business Economics from SUNY Oneonta and performing environmental clean-ups and construction inspections) recommended me to our Supervisor for a seat on Mamakating’s Zoning Board of Appeals in 2011. In 2013, I was made Chairman of our ZBA.

Matthew has conducted environmental cleanups and construction inspections.

In 2016, I was appointed to the committee tasked with the development of our Town’s bi-partisan, Comprehensive Master Plan. This plan continues to guide Mamakating as we grow our community and protect our quality of life. The Master Plan reflects the enthusiastic participation of Mamakating’s citizens. On Nov. 2nd 2021, I was elected to Mamakating’s Town Council. More recently, I helped organize our community’s effort towards convincing NY State and Federal officials to keep Exit 114 open due to its importance for our First Responders and Wurtsboro’s businesses.
