We will aggressively pursue Redding's equitable share of State and Federal services and revenues, including grants. We are committed to open, ethical, and accountable local government and support bipartisan efforts to provide the best environment for all Redding citizens. Redding Republicans support local candidates who, without interference from Washington or Hartford, put the interests of Redding first. After all, Redding residents know what is best for our town.
