FAIRFIELD, CT — The Fairfield Republican Town Committee (RTC) is thrilled to announce the election of Laura Devlin as its new Chairperson. With a decade of experience across various levels of politics and government, Devlin's leadership promises to invigorate and unite the Republican Party in Fairfield.

Former Town Attorney Jim Baldwin emphasized Devlin's exceptional resilience and unwavering
dedication to public service. "Being RTC chairman is the toughest job of them all, and the toughest job requires the toughest person to do it," he remarked.

"I see differences as an opportunity to open lines of communication, not shut them down," said
Devlin in her acceptance speech. She went on to tell a packed room, “We stand at a pivotal moment for the Republican Party, true leadership lies not in personal achievements, but in
inspiring others to achieve greatness through collaboration. We are capable of positive change, but only if we embrace empowering and supporting one another."

Balanced government is one where all voices are heard. Currently, one party rule has taken over Fairfield and is failing to provide accountability and transparency.

The Fairfield RTC invites residents to participate in our local political revitalization and renewal. This is an opportune moment to engage and align with a constructive mission aimed at
championing the fundamental principles of limited government, a free market economy, individual liberty, the rule of law, safe and free elections, and fiscal conservatism. Join us as we work together to shape a brighter future for our community.

Joining Devlin in election to leadership positions are Michael Grant who was elected Vice Chairman, and Nina Velez who was re-elected as Secretary. Grant has been an active member
of the Fairfield RTC since 2022, having previously served as District Leader, Candidate Recruitment Chair, and State Central Representative. Velez serves on the Town’s Affordable Housing Committee. Tom McCarthy was reappointed as treasurer.
