What We Do

The committee develops policies involving political involvement in local government and holds caucuses or meetings for the nomination of candidates for local offices, and for delegates to area and state conventions. Membership eligibility is open to enrolled Republican electors in town. The committee is governed by state statues, state Republican rules and local by-laws. The town committee consists of fifteen members and up to ten alternates.

Mission

Our mission is: to uphold the unalienable rights of all individuals to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; to stand for limited government of the people, by the people and for the people; to listen to and accurately represent the interests, needs and concerns of our community; to educate the community about the electoral process and the way local, state, and federal government works; to be a community watchman providing early warning about proposed ordinances, regulations, and legislation; and to alert the public to communicate directly with elected officials to support much-needed legislation and to oppose issues which infringe upon constitutional rights, which cause undue hardship, reduce the quality of life or impose significant burdens through wasteful spending, ill-advised bonding, higher fees and unnecessary taxes.

K. David Schultz, Chairman
August 11, 2021

Purpose

Our primary purpose is to seek, designate, and secure the election of capable and well-qualified candidates for public office at the local and district levels of government and to collaborate with the CTGOP and the RNC to secure the election of the most capable Republican candidates for statewide and federal offices.
