What is the Mission of the Danbury Democratic Town Committee?
The Danbury Democratic Town Committee (DDTC) is the official municipal governing body of the Democratic Party in Danbury, Connecticut. We organize grassroots civic participation, endorse local and legislative candidates, advocate for quality public schools, and promote responsible municipal fiscal management under Connecticut General Statutes and state party rules.
Our mission is to help elect Democrats representing Danbury to Federal, State, and local office; influence city priorities and policy, build awareness of the causes, policies, and values for which Democrats stand, and work to expand the base of registered Democrats in Danbury.
