With a Clear Mandate From Millions of Americans, President Trump Elected as 47th President of the United States!

Image
  Screenshot (KTLA 5) I f you were like many Americans yesterday you went out and voted, then kept your eyes on the TV or your device to get the minute-by-minute score on the Trump Vs Kamala scoreboard of states. Like many of you, we debated which every possible path to 270 electoral votes that President Trump has to the ones that Kamala Harris did not. We watched in excitement and nervousness as some states were shaded light red or were too close to call at the time. One thing we knew for sure; we had faith that Trump would make it across the finish line because Trump has a message that resonates with all of us.

While establishment Republicans do their ver...

    David Alfano, Nisha Arora, Lucia Jansen, Alessandra Brus, Philip Dodson, John Hopley The following letter was submitted by Republicans David  Alfano, Nisha Arora, Lucia Jansen, Alessandra Brus, Philip Dodson and John Hopley. They are running as a slate in the September 9, 2025, Primary. To GVAT Editors: On September 9, Greenwich Republicans will choose the candidates who will represent our party on the Board of Estimate and Taxation (BET)—the body that manages over $600 million of taxpayer money. This primary is not just about who sits on the BET; it’s about whether our town’s finances will be guided by independent oversight or controlled by a small group of insiders who’ve held power for decades. This Republican Primary is Between Entrenched Insiders and Independent Thinkers. The primary exists because BET Chair Harry Fisher—after more than 40 years in town government—has built a slate of loyalists with one goal: to replace the endorsed Republican incumbents with ins...
