Join your fellow Greenwich Republicans in the Old Greenwich Memorial Day Parade.

Greenwich Republicans Memorial Day March, Monday May 25 at 9 AM, Corner of Keofferam Road and Sound Beach Avenue

This Memorial Day, Greenwich Republicans will march together to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. Every Greenwich Republican, every candidate, and every fellow patriot is invited to join us.

Monday, May 25 at 9:00 AM. Meet us at the corner of Keofferam Road and Sound Beach Avenue in Old Greenwich. Bring your family. Bring your flag. Bring your friends. If you can’t meet us at the start, join us anywhere along the parade route.

“Honor our soldiers. Honor our heroes. Honor America.”

Memorial Day is not about politics. It is about the Americans who never came home. The soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who gave everything so that the rest of us could keep what we have. Honoring them is the least we can do.

We march in unity. We march in gratitude. We march because we will never forget.

Convention Wrap-Up

A United Ticket for November 2026

Over the past ten days, Greenwich Republicans have gathered at the state and local level to endorse a slate of candidates with rare unanimity and unmistakable momentum heading into November.

Never in recent memory has the Republican Party, in Greenwich and throughout Connecticut, been this unified behind so strong a slate of candidates. The energy coming out of the convention floor was real. So is the opportunity in front of us this fall.

Statewide — Leading the Ticket

State Senator Ryan Fazio for Governor

The Connecticut Republican Party unanimously nominated State Senator Ryan Fazio as our candidate for Governor in November 2026. Over five years representing the 36th District, Ryan has made Greenwich proud, leading the charge to lower the cost of electricity in Connecticut, passing meaningful bipartisan legislation, and standing out as one of the most serious policy voices in Hartford.

Ryan leads a ticket of endorsed Republican candidates ready to take Connecticut in a new direction.

Congressional — 4th District

Dr. Michael Goldstein

The Connecticut Republican Party has nominated Dr. Michael Goldstein to run in Connecticut’s 4th Congressional District. Dr. Goldstein brings a serious, accomplished background to the race, and we look forward to introducing him to Greenwich voters in the weeks ahead.

State Legislature — Unanimous & Unified

Four Candidates, Four Unanimous Endorsements

The theme of unity continued at the local level. This week, the Town of Greenwich enthusiastically and unanimously endorsed four candidates to represent Greenwich in the State Legislature.

Joseph Kelly, Senate District 36
Tina Courpas, House District 149 (incumbent)
Jonathan Goldstein, House District 150
Michael Mason, House District 151

Each of the four was endorsed without dissent. That kind of unity inside a town committee is rare. Heading into a November election, it is a real advantage.

This is the strongest ticket Greenwich Republicans have put forward in years, and we are just getting started. Watch this newsletter for more information and a series of upcoming meet-and-greets with our candidates.

BET Watch

Bipartisanship Is a Two-Way Street

BET Democrats killed the first interim appropriation of FY27, blocking a $250,000 study to relocate Board of Education staff out of Havemeyer.

2–2

The Motion Failed on a Party-Line Tie

One day after the RTM approved the FY27 budget, the BET Budget Committee took up the first interim appropriation of the new fiscal year: $250,000 for a feasibility and test-fit study to relocate Board of Education staff out of the Havemeyer Building. Both Republicans on the Committee voted yes. Both Democrats voted no. The motion failed 2–2.

This term of the BET has seen extraordinary bipartisan cooperation. There were no tie-breaking votes. The FY27 budget went to the RTM with unanimous BET support. Republicans took real political risk, backing a full operating budget and a long list of deferred capital projects. When the Democrats faced their first test as the majority on an interim request, they balked.

The conditions at Havemeyer are real. No air conditioning in much of the building. Boards on windows. Heat that runs above 85 degrees in winter. After three decades of talk, two bipartisan committees, an RFP, an evaluation process, and a public forum, the Democrats’ answer is: Not yet. Our question is: Why not?

“Bipartisanship cannot be a one-way street. We expect better. So do the taxpayers, and so do the BOE employees who have been working in those conditions for far too long.”
