<p><strong>Write a little something about your issue here.</strong> You can only put a short blurb here, but you can publish out a full issue page, which the View More button will link to by default. If you want to link the View More button somewhere else, or remove it altogether, you can do so via the Post Publishing Setting in the sidebar.</p>

<h2>Preamble</h2>

<h4>Quiet Corner Unity Event</h4>

<p>Write a little something about your issue here.</p>

<h2>Alignment with the State Party Platform</h2>

<p><strong>Safe roads, reliable emergency services, and well-maintained infrastructure are core obligations of local government. </strong>We support adequate funding for our volunteer fire and emergency services, sensible traffic safety measures, and honest long-term planning for roads, bridges, and town buildings. Deferred maintenance is not savings; it is debt, paid later at higher cost.</p>

<h2>Public Safety and Infrastructrure</h2>

<p><strong>A small town takes care of its own.</strong> We support strong, year-round programming and support services for seniors, accessible services for veterans, and broader attention to residents for whom Woodstock is becoming harder to afford or navigate. Aging in place, food security, transportation, and connection to regional resources are part of what it means to be a community.</p>

<h2>Seniors, Veterans and Neighbors in need</h2>

<h4>52nd district convention</h4>

<p><strong>Town government belongs to the residents of Woodstock.</strong> We support clear communication from town offices, accessible meetings, and meaningful chances for public input before decisions are made. We believe in professional, well-supported town administration, and we expect every elected and appointed official — including our own — to conduct public business in public.</p>

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<h2>Open and Accountable Government</h2>

<h4>May 26 Meeting Recap</h4>

<p><strong>Sound town finances require both prudence and fairness.</strong> The 2025 revaluation showed how unevenly tax changes can fall across our community, and the town should respond honestly — including through tools like property tax deferral for qualifying residents. We trust voters to decide the budget at referendum, and oppose preemptive cuts to essential services.</p>

<h2>Responsible and Equitable Town Finances</h2>

<h4>Convention eve with Josh Elliott</h4>

<h2>Disability Rights and Accessibility</h2>

<p><strong>Woodstock's working farms, forests and open space are essential to who we are. </strong>We support open space preservation, support for working agriculture, careful stewardship of natural resources, and land use that respects our rural character. Climate resilience — protecting our roads, water, and homes from volatile weather — is a local issue, not just a federal one.</p>

<h2>Land, Environment and Rural Character</h2>

<h2>Housing affordability and community vitality</h2>

<h4>May 6th Meeting highlights</h4>

<h4>Josh Elliott Visit</h4>

<h4>Scoops with Sean</h4>

<p><strong>Woodstock's public schools are central to our community's future</strong>, and we believe in funding them adequately for every student. We respect the Board of Education as an independently elected body and support taking its budget seriously. Decisions about facilities and consolidation should be made on educational quality, fiscal honesty, and genuine community input.</p>

<h2>Strong Public Schools</h2>

<h4>State Convention</h4>

<p><strong>Another great event this year at Quiet Corner Pride in Putnam. </strong>We joined with Dems from across the Quiet Corner to participate. Click through for pics and details.</p>

<h4>Quiet Corner Pride</h4>

<h4>50th district convention</h4>

<p><strong>Democracy in Woodstock depends on residents who show up </strong>— to vote, attend meetings, serve, and speak. We support broad voting access and the recruitment of capable neighbors to run for local office. We welcome participation from anyone who shares our values, whether or not they are registered Democrats. Disagreement should be conducted with respect.</p>

<h2>Civic Engagement<br></h2>

<p>Woodstock holds significant public resources in trust, including the roughly $20 million Herbert W. Bowen Fund. We support transparent, professional management of these assets — clear public reporting, prudent diversification to limit concentration risk, and faithful adherence to donor obligations and state law. The Bowen Fund is too important to be managed quietly.</p>

<h2>Stewardship of Town Assets</h2>

It is amazing that the Second District covers 64 towns covering all of eastern CT. Joe Courtney won the nomination with 322 of the 356 delegates. This was the first of six conventions we will participate in this year.</p><span class="image image-framed image-center image-tilt-left" style="width: 100%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/64cd38ab-00d1-42d0-9625-18d6d3318162/d4c88b04-614e-400c-a80d-d86c78b24728/d4c88b04-614e-400c-a80d-d86c78b24728.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C5712%2C4284&amp;w=1500&amp;s=53753049e66a011c7dc62ed6d057655c" alt="Joe with Woodstock Delegates" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="50" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p style="text-align: left;"></p>
