The Cheshire, Connecticut Democratic Town Committee

The Cheshire Democratic Town Committee strives to build a better Cheshire by assisting local Democrats who want to run for office, serve as appointed town Board and Commission members, or work on campaigns for town, state, and federal candidates. We believe in preparing for a better future through careful planning and hard work. We are committed to the continued growth of Cheshire as one of the best places in the country to live, work and raise a family. Meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Cheshire Senior Center unless conditions warrant a virtual meeting. All registered Democrats are welcome to attend. For more information or a link to attend a virtual meeting: contact us.
