East Granby Forward! – That’s your local Republican team’s message heading towards Election Day on November 2nd. Our full slate of talented candidates have fresh ideas, diverse backgrounds and are well qualified to meet the challenges facing our town in 2021 and beyond.
For Board of Selectmen, Eden Wimpfheimer and Steve Hall are heading up our team dedicated to the issues that matter most to you and your family:
Cultivating Growth
Working in partnership with businesses it’s possible to achieve economic growth, expand our tax base and enhance our small-town charm. East Granby has incredible underutilized potential, especially when it comes to its many existing vacant commercial buildings. Our proximity to Bradley International Airport should be used to our advantage. We need attractive and job-creating businesses along the Route 20 corridor.
Supporting our Students
Both Eden and Steve are parents and understand the importance of making sure our educators have the resources they need to teach our children safely and effectively. This means making sure that taxpayer dollars are invested wisely to directly benefit East Granby’s students. Our team pledges to support the highest educational standards for all our children.
Creating Sustainable Budgets
Our team is focused on affordability and keeping burdensome property taxes as low as possible. Tax dollars must be managed responsibly, and sensible business development can grow our grand list which lowers taxes for everyone. Taxes in East Granby continue to increase, including in 2020 when many towns tried to eliminate tax increases during the height of the pandemic. Unfortunately, East Granby’s tax rates are catching up with our high tax neighbors, and far exceed Suffield and Windsor Locks.
Protecting our Quality of Life
We are proud to call East Granby home and want to ensure a bright future for our children and grandchildren. Our slate of candidates will work to ensure that those of us living here now as well as future generations will be able to afford and enjoy all that our town has to offer.
Eden and Steve cannot do this alone. We need your support for the entire Republican team, and welcome your help with our campaign efforts this fall – as a volunteer, a contributor - or if you would just like a lawn sign.
