New Canaan Democratic Town Committee condemns racist pamphlet left anonymously at New Canaan homes in early pre-dawn hours
It is with a heavy heart that we share the following statement from the New Canaan Democratic Town Committee. The content of the pamphlet, beyond an attack on two beloved members of our community, contains racism and we encourage you to only scroll down and read if you have space for such an upsetting letter. You can read our full statement here.

OUR TOWN WORKS BEST WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER
On Monday, July 26th at 7 pm, we endorsed a slate of spectacular candidates for Board of Selectmen, Town Council, Board of Education, Board of Assessment Appeals, and the office of Constable.
Having already been deeply involved in the community across numerous organizations in service to our town -- which has provided a keen awareness on what makes our community so special -- each candidate on our slate has a demonstrated ability to preserve what we love about New Canaan and shape it for the best future imaginable. We are so eager to tell you more about them, along with the inspiring words we heard from candidates, and the nominators and community members who respect them so.
The Municipal Election will be held on Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021, and we can't wait for you to get to know the candidates that make our great slate! Learn more on our Campaign Page.
If you'd like to volunteer to help get the word out about our slate, shoot us an email.
There's a lot to do between today and November 2nd, and we'd love to take on the work of spreading the news about our slate with you!
