Relevance
Stonington is politically interesting. Born from an independent spirit, settled in the South Easternly most corner of a 'blue state,' our values differ a bit from the Hartford bubble. That independent streak is obvious when you look at our voter makeup.
Republicans in Stonington have been the minority party for many years. The trend toward Democrat domination has continued to the point that Republicans currently account for about 25% of the electorate, Democrats 35% and Unaffiliated voters 40%. Yet, despite this inequity, Stonington Republicans have a clear history of successfully promoting women candidates to positions of power and authority traditionally reserved for males. As well, the political careers of Billy Boatwright, Bill Brown and Rob Simmons show that Stonington Republicans can be elected to multiple positions over an extended period of time. This is due in no small part to the hard work, support and dedication of Members of the SRTC.
The values of self-reliance and mentorship permeate far beyond just our Republican Party. The unaffiliated voter is a large portion of our team, and we often partner with them and some fellow Democrats to stand for our town's small town values to keep Hartford from ignoring our amazing town filled with world class attractions.
