Back to Basics

Politics is a dynamic business.  At its most basic level, this art exists to serve the will of the people. That can mean everything from pothole repair all politics is local to protecting a nation and making decisions that put others in harms way. Here in Ridgefield, citizens should know that an institution exists to facilitate the engagement in politics of all town Republicans.

The Ridgefield Republican Town Committee provides a forum for members of the GOP to listen, speak, and be heard on issues ranging from the most parochial to the most global.  Reprinted below is the mission statement of the RTC:

In order to carry out its mission, the Town Committee shall:

A. Seek out and recommend qualified candidates for election to public offices or for placement on Town Committees & Commissions of the Town of Ridgefield.

B. Seek out and recommend qualified candidates for endorsement and election to local, state and national public offices, and as delegates to conventions.

C.  Raise funds for the use by and benefit of the Republican Party.

D. Increase enrollment in the Republican Party and encourage electors to vote for Republican candidates for election.

E. Establish policy for the Ridgefield Republican Party and platforms for its public officials and endorsed candidates.

F. Direct and maintain a public relations program for the Ridgefield Republican Party and its public officials and endorsed candidates.

G. Direct and maintain campaign publicity for the Ridgefield Republican Party and its public officials and endorsed candidates.

H. Act as liaison between Republican electors and public officials of the Town of Ridgefield, as well as between Republican Party organizations in other towns and at state and national levels.

I. Monitor the form and function of our town government and recommend appropriate improvements.

J.  Monitor local, state and federal legislation affecting the Town of Ridgefield and the Town Committees constituents.

Whether your interest in politics extends as far as those issues that concern our town and our schools or if you stay up at night pondering the election of our next President, please consider the Ridgefield Republican Town Committee a forum for you.

There are currently openings on the RTC. And we’d love for you to fill one. Please send an email to: webmaster@ridgefieldgop.org if you are interested in getting involve.
