    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.

MacGillivray: The Soul Of Greenwich Is Ours To Save

Image
  Beth MacGillivray By Beth MacGillivray, former Chair of the Greenwich Republican Town Committee When I stepped down as Chair of our Republican Party, we had restored Republican strength in Greenwich - raising over an outstanding $300,000, winning hard-fought elections with record voter turnout, energizing our base with eager volunteers mobilizing all across town. That teamwork and unity defined us as Greenwich Republicans. Building on that momentum, we launched a dynamic new website, grew our social media presence exponentially, and earned national recognition from other Republican organizations eager to learn and repeat our success. Our rebranding and outreach resonated far beyond town lines, and it worked because we worked together. Today that hard-earned progress is under threat.
