Dear ,

What a great day at "Celebrate West Hartford" yesterday.  I was so encouraged by the crowds who stopped by our booth, the fantastic conversations and the attitude of West Hartford residents.  We added dozens of new names to our subscription list, we added dozens of new signatures to our School Name Change petition, and we distributed over 500 "West Hartford Town Committee" balloons to kids (and some adults).  It was amazing to view a sea of red balloons all over the event and event attendees took notice!  We even registered some new Republicans!

It was great to have Dominic Rapini (candidate for Secretary of State), Harry Arora (candidate for State Treasurer), Jessica Kordas (candidate for State Attorney General), Anastasia Yopp (candidate for the 20th District State House) and representatives from the Themis Klarides for U.S. Senate campaign and Bob Stefanowski for Governor Campaign.  It was great to see our local Republican officials, Al Cortes (Town Council), Mark Zydanowicz (Town Council), Ethan Goldman (Board of Education) and Dr. Gayle Harris (Board of Education) at the event as well.  And we can't forget Beth Kyle and Eileen Swanton who were working the Registrar of Voters booth all day!

Thank you to all of the RTC volunteers who helped gather signatures, speak with West Hartford voters and get our balloons out.

However, the reason for this email is to let you know that on Monday, June 6, attorney Scott Zweig, a West Hartford resident and Hall High School Alum, along with Mary McGowan, also a West Hartford resident, filed a lawsuit in Hartford Superior Court against the West Hartford Board of Education, the West Hartford Public Schools, Superintendent Thomas Moore and Assistant Superintendent Andrew Morrow.  The lawsuit contends that the West Hartford Board of Education failed to follow established Board of Education policies in the Renaming Motions for the High Schools.  A hearing is scheduled for July 7, 2022.

As we all know, filing and following through on a lawsuit such as this can be an expensive endeavor.  A GoFundMe page has been established to help cover legal expenses for the lawsuit with a goal to raise $15,000.

Please support the action by clicking the button below and contributing to the cause!

Also, be sure to tune into the Todd Feinberg show, on WTIC-1080am radio at 5:10pm today to hear more about the latest update concerning the lawsuit.

If you have any questions or if you need additional information, please email me at chair@whgop.org.

Sincerely,
