CHAIRMAN'S NOTE

 

After its incorporation, Trumbull quickly became one of Connecticut’s most desirable communities. This was achieved by fostering a genuine sense of belonging, making steady investments in infrastructure, developing and supporting an exceptional school system, conserving natural resources, and engaging residents in their local government. Trumbull’s culture was welcoming, friendly, and well-managed. Even as the town evolved, it stayed true to these founding principles, earning its reputation as a genuine “Community of Choice.”

In recent years, however, Trumbull has undergone significant changes. Town government has grown increasingly political and polarized, eroding the spirit of shared community. Taxing and spending have increased, while the Town's Grand List has decreased, placing a significantly greater burden on homeowners. Infrastructure needs have been neglected. Development has too often been poorly managed. Partisan and insular decision-making has weakened the trust and unity that once defined Trumbull.

Trumbull Republicans are committed to restoring our town as a true “Community of Choice.” We believe in open, transparent government rooted in common sense. Our tax and spend policies will be better balanced. Essential infrastructure will take priority over wasteful spending. Our natural resources will be protected for generations to come. Most importantly, residents will once again be respected, engaged, and empowered to shape our collective future, moving forward together as neighbors.
