The North Haven Republican Town Committee (NHRTC) is a community organization involved in all factors that address the quality of life in North Haven. The qualities that attract people to become North Haven residents, such as sound fiscal policy and an exceptional education system, are in large part due to the contributions made by the various republican administrations throughout the Town’s history. For over 200 years, the Republican Party has been the majority party in our Town. In those 200+ years, the Town has been led by a non-Republican administration only twice, and those administrations lasted but one term before being returned to a Republican administration.
The NHRTC also helps recruit, recommend and support registered Republicans who volunteer their time to serve on board and commissions that help in the governing of our Town. Other NHRTC responsibilities include:
- Support local Republican candidates for elected offices such as letter writing, hands-on campaigning, and neighborhood walk-along participation.
- Organizing local fundraisers in support of all NHRTC activities.
- Conducting annual Caucuses and Nominating Conventions.
- Coordinating activities with the Republican Town Committees of surrounding towns and the State Republican Central Committee.
- Encouraging voter turnout by staffing call centers to “Get Out The Vote” during campaign periods prior to Election Day.
The NHRTC consists of 39 registered Republican voters. In even-numbered years, the NHRTC is involved with the campaigns of Republican candidates seeking national offices, statewide offices and legislative positions. In odd-numbered years, the NHRTC focuses its efforts on electing Republican candidates for town-wide positions.
