Dear ,

What an incredible week it has been for West Hartford Republicans.

First, a heartfelt thank you to the more than one hundred residents who joined us on Monday, September 15th, for our “Stand Up for Charlie Kirk” Vigil and Rally. The unity and spirit that filled the evening were truly overwhelming as we honored Charlie’s life and stood proudly for our values. Your presence showed the strength of our community.  Thank you to my Vice Chairman, Dennis Swanton for working with the Town of West Hartford to put this together and thank you to Mary Ann Turner the State of Connecticut GOP Vice Chair for speaking at the event, as well as all of our Republican endorsed municipal candidates!

Second, a huge thank you to everyone who came out and donated at our Food Drive on Sunday, September 14th at the Crown Supermarket in West Hartford. Together, we collected over 40 cubic feet of groceries to benefit the Anja Rosenberg Kosher Food Pantry at Jewish Family Services. This was a tremendous success—not only in helping those in need, but also in allowing voters to connect personally with our Republican candidates.

We are proud of this momentum and will be hosting more food drives in the future—because they make a difference, both in the community and at the ballot box.

🚪 Canvassing with Candidates – This Sunday!

This Sunday, September 21, we’re holding a “Canvassing with Candidates” event in the Hall High School neighborhood.

• Meet at Hall High School’s main parking lot – 10:30 AM

• Coffee, juice, water, and doughnuts will be ready to get us fueled up.

• Canvassing 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM

There’s no substitute for door knocking. Face-to-face conversations with our neighbors are the single most effective way to connect, share our vision, and hand out campaign literature. Every door we knock brings us one step closer to victory.

🗳️ The Path to Victory

Friends, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Our town needs common sense leadership – leadership that protects taxpayers, supports families, and restores balance to West Hartford government. If every Republican votes Row B, we can win more Town Council seats and strengthen our local voice.

This is achievable – but only if we stand together, work hard, and turn out the vote.

Let’s show West Hartford what Republican leadership looks like.

With gratitude and determination,

Shawn Daly
