Dear ,

As we approach Memorial Day, let us take a moment to reflect on the profound sacrifice of the brave men and women who gave their lives to defend the freedoms we cherish. Memorial Day is a solemn reminder of the cost of liberty, and as Republicans, we honor this legacy by committing to the principles that make our nation great: freedom, personal responsibility, and a government that serves its people.

In this spirit of service, our attention now turns to the upcoming 2025 municipal elections. Our party’s strength lies in its people, and the search for dedicated, principled candidates is underway. We already have some strong prospects stepping forward, but we need even more voices to represent our values on the West Hartford Town Council. If you or someone you know is interested in making a difference in our community, now is the time to step up.

Candidate Recruitment and Endorsement Timeline

• We aim to solidify our list of candidates in June.

• Our formal endorsement meeting will be held in July (exact date TBD).
