Political Parties Making Things Interesting For 2025 West Hartford Municipal Election

The 2025 municipal election is more than three months away, but long before a single political sign is planted in the ground interest in the race is already growing in West Hartford.

Over the past week, both the Democratic Town Committee and Republican Town Committee have released their slates of endorsed candidates, and there are some unexpected and notable inclusions and exclusions on the lists.

Perhaps the most surprising – and most diverse – group of nominees comes from the West Hartford RTC. For the first time in since 2013 there will be a full slate of six candidates on the Republican line, but only one of those endorsed came from among the party’s three incumbents.

Note: In West Hartford, all nine Town Council seats are up for grabs every two years, but each party is permitted to endorse up to six candidates. The majority party cannot hold more than six seats, and Democrats have been in the majority for more than two decades. The last time the Republicans won a majority of seats was in 1999. Board of Education candidates serve four year staggered terms, and the Democrats have a long-held 5-2 majority.
