Windsor Republicans

The mission of the Windsor Republican Town Committee is to ensure that our town is a vibrant and affordable place where you feel at home. Our priorities are top notch safety services, sound infrastructure and effective education, all delivered in a fiscally responsible and practical manner. Regardless of background, every resident should be respected and valued for their contribution to our community.

WRTC Chairman Len Walker

Let’s remain joyful for a new day in this great country. I can’t wait to enjoy the refreshing changes coming in January.
Stand strong my fellow Republicans.

Attend WRTC Committee Meetings

This is the most informative way to get connected and stay connected. Everyone is welcome! You don't have to be a committee member or even a Republican to attend.
We meet on the 3rd Thursday of most months at 7:00 p.m. in the Town Council chambers located in the lower level of Windsor Town Hall. Park in the back and use the rear entrance.

The WRTC business meetings are informative and surprisingly lively. Members provide reports on the latest activities of the organizations within our town government such as the Town Council, the Board of Education and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Issues are raised and discussed. We almost always go out to Union Street Tavern afterward. You are welcome to join us in that too, of course!

Current exceptions: Our next scheduled meeting is January 16, 2025.

Meet our Officials

Windsor Republican officials work hard to keep taxes down, ensure services deliver value, and advocate fact-based policies.
The Town of Windsor has a total of 21 elected positions: nine on the Town Council, nine on the Board of Education, and three Constables. Republicans in Windsor hold nine of these positions.
Office holders are elected in odd years, serve for two years, and receive no pay.

Socialize Informally

We meet for brunch on the 2nd Saturday of most months at 10:00 a.m. at Airway Restaurant located at 541 Spring Street in Windsor Locks.
This is the most fun way to get connected and make friends. Everyone is welcome! We especially welcome new-comers who join us at this informal event.

Please email [email protected] to reserve your seat.

Current exceptions: No current exceptions!

On December 16th, 2024 the Windsor Town Council voted to move forward with the Broad Street Road Diet Project. Option #3, with the addition of two single lane "roundabout" traffic circles was approved. One roundabout will be located at the intersection of Poquonock and Bloomfield Avenues and the other will be located at the intersection of Poquonock Avenue, Broad Street, and Palisado Avenue.
The video of the December 16th Town Council meeting is available for viewing here. A PDF file of the minutes of the Town Council Meeting is here. (Discussion of the Broad Street Road Diet begins at page 10.)
A public hearing concerning the $6,100,000.00 price tag of the Broad Street Road Diet was held January 6th at 7:00 pm. Due to the absence of Town Councilor Smith, the bonding for the Broad Street Road Diet was not passed during the meeting that followed. As of this writing, the minutes and the video for that meeting are not available.
The next Town Council meeting is scheduled for January 21, 2025 at 7:30 in Town Hall. Presumably another vote to approve the bonding will be held then and a date will be set for the referendum vote concerning the bonding.
Approximately four million dollars for the Road Diet project will come from state and federal sources, but two million one hundred thousand dollars will have to be provided by the Town of Windsor (and its taxpayers) via bonding. In accordance with our town charter, that total $6.1 million dollar price tag for the project will have to be approved by the residents of Windsor in that referendum vote.

The WRTC encourages all residents to familiarize themselves with the Broad Street Road Diet plan and to attend the next Town Council meeting on January 21 at 7:30 pm.

The Town of Windsor spends over $145 million of your tax dollars annually. In Windsor, unlike many communities, the voters must pass the annual budget each May.
Review the issues we're addressing, including lower taxes, practical education, strong public safety, and sound infrastructure.
