Wethersfield Democrats

Election Day voting in Wethersfield! Lots of enthusiasm!

🔥🔥🔥

Kicked off the celebration of July 4th at the @webbdeane museum in Wethersfield with the Mayor & members of the @America250 Commission. As we begin events leading up to the 250th birthday in two years, we honor our rich history and look forward to a bright future together. 🇺🇸

Last week, we highlighted $7 million in state grants for upgrades and improvements at 34 cultural and historic sites in Connecticut! $500,000 of which will support Wethersfield Historical Society’s efforts in preserving history and enhancing visitor experience.

“In Wethersfield’s nearly 400 years, Monday night was the first time it hosted a town council swearing-in ceremony with participation by a rabbi, a pastor and an imam.” And the town council swore in the first Bosnian-American and the first female majority.

You can say it’s Connecticut and it’s a blue state, but Republicans control more town governments than Democrats. Last night Dems flipped Danbury Fairfield Wethersfield Newington Old Lyme Cromwell Clinton Brookfield Colchester That’s a partial list. A big big deal.

A great night for Wethersfield Democrats who swept the Town Council and Board of Ed and retook leadership after 4 years.

Wethersfield! Vote Row A tomorrow!

It was great seeing you @ChrisMurphyCT!

I surprised my old family friend Bobbi Hughes Granato tonight by crashing the end of a fundraiser at her home for her Board of Education race. Wethersfield Dems have a great chance this fall to take back control of both the Council and Board of Ed!

I grew up in a small Hartford suburb, 100 miles from the World Trade Center. Still, I lost three family friends on 9/11 - a sign of how far and wide the impact of that day was. But the legacy of those we lost is so powerful. Wethersfield's Keane Foundation is just one example.

Returning for Town Council, Ken Lesser, Matthew Forrest, and Cindy Clancy, joined by Miki Duric, Jane Roets, and Emily Zambrello. Returning to the Board of Education: BOE leader Bobbie Granato, joined by Marjorie Callan Carson. Christina Hernandez-Williams and Jon Weiner.

We’re thrilled to announce the exceptional team of leaders who’ve stepped up to serve Wethersfield as candidates running for Town Council and Board of Education in the upcoming municipal election on November 7!

While the world is working to recover from COVID-19, the Republican Party in Wethersfield decided funding public education was not a priority. Thank you Sarah Morin Gantley for speaking up for our schools and children! courant.com/2023/06/12/rea…
