WDTC SETS DISTRICT PRIORITY
At the January Windsor Democratic Town Committee meeting the following resolution was passed unanimously:
RESOLUTION # 1
WINDSOR DISTRICT - Approved January 7, 2010
Whereas – Windsor is Connecticut’s 35th largest town with over 29,000 residents,
Whereas – Windsor currently is the largest town in CT without a majority house district and is divided into 3 districts making it unusually placed among the 169 towns and their State House districts,
( house districts are about 22,000 people)
Whereas - there are 14 smaller towns than Windsor with exclusive house districts,
Whereas - there are an additional 32 smaller towns than Windsor with majority districts,
Whereas – Prior to 1982 Windsor had its own majority State House District,
Whereas – for 30 years Windsor has been working within the system to gain back that majority seat, especially in the last 2 Census/Redistricting cycles 1990-1992 2000-2002.
Be It Resolved, that the Windsor Democratic Town Committee will ramp up the effort using all the energy, political power and access to the process it has to work to regain its own majority State House district for Windsor.
And Further Be It Resolved, that this issue becomes priority #1 starting now and for as long as it takes to get it done
DEMS ENDORSE BLUMENTHAL
FOR US SENATE
Less than 30 hours after the announcement by Attorney General Dick Blumenthal of his intentions to run for the US Senate seat that will open up by the sad departure of Chris Dodd, the Windsor Democratic Town Committee voted unanimously to endorse his candidacy. Connecticut’s first town may hold title to being the first Town Committee to take this action.
The Attorney General has a terrific record of accomplishment, great potential as a US Senator and has been a familiar face and regular visitor to
Windsor – most recently at a WDTC Fundraiser in the fall.

Whenthe motion was made to support Blumenthal there was little discussion because of the depth of knowledger people have of his record. What was expressed was great enthusiasm for his candidacy that was backed up by a unanimous vote of support.
With this endorsement Windsor Dems can begin the process of actively campaigning for Blumenthal right now in it’s communications to democrats and in media comment.
DEMS SCREENING OTHER CANDIDATES
Even though the choice for US SEnator has been made, there still remain a host of other offices for which Windsor Dems need to pay attention. The January Town Committee meeting had visits from gubernatorial candidate Rudy Marconi and Secretary of the State candidate Denise Merrill. Merrick Alpert, another candiate for US Senate was invited to attend the January meeting but opted to visit Windsor for the March meeting.
Dem Town Committee meetings will be held on
February 4 March 4 March 25 May 6
Different candidates are scheduled to attend all of them.
The democratic State Convention will be held May 21 and 22 – at that time the Party choices will be made for all of the state-wide candidates.
