“A Connecticut Party of West Hartford” is a party that reflects fiscal conservative values and promotes dialogue on social issues. We will not beholden to the principals of the current political parties. We want to be the party of strategic consolidation, constructions – cranes in the skyline, open and equal education to modernize the progress made to date.  Our community is diverse and engaged thus requires an alternative view on how we should approach governing.  The current dynamics of our national and state political landscape needs a break from the political divide and have a party/voice that is based on moderate perspectives, respect for different views and creates unity, rational alternative.
