About the Connecticut Republican Party

---

The Connecticut Republican Party and Chairman Ben Proto believe in the wisdom of the people to manage their own lives and, through the generosity of the human spirit, share their good fortune with those less fortunate.

Our Mission at The Connecticut Republican Party:

 Promote Republican values and ideas;

Elect candidates that support and promote these values and ideas; and help them lead effectively based on our common principles.

Our Principles:

• More Individual Freedoms, Less Government Interference
• The protection of the individual’s God given and constitutionally recognized rights: freedom of speech, religion and association;
• Smaller more efficient government;
• Respect for the rule of law;
• Less taxation on individuals, businesses and investments. Our state economy benefits when hard-earned dollars are left in the hands of those who earned them;
• The removal of burdensome regulation on individuals and businesses, while recognizing that limited regulation is necessary to ensure fair competition;
• Policies, which further the preservation of our environment and natural resources;
• The private property rights of all individuals;
• The accountability of public schools to ensure that public funds are spent wisely, and that educational progress can be effectively measured and evaluated;
• The freedom of parents to send their children to schools that succeed;
• Teaching students about America’s national heritage and the responsibilities of citizenship
