Thank You, Cromwell: A Big Win for Progress and the Future

We did it, Cromwell! Thanks to your passion, your voice, and your vote, the 2025 municipal election was a major victory for our community — and for the future we’re building together.

We are thrilled to announce that we flipped two key seats: 

✅ 1 seat on the Board of Finance 

✅ 1 seat on the Board of Education

These wins weren’t just about party labels — they were about electing leaders who put Cromwell families, schools, finances, and long-term planning first. Your vote sent a clear message that progress matters, accountability matters, and community matters.

🙌 A Huge Thank You to Our Candidates

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every candidate who stepped up and put themselves forward in this election. Running for office takes courage, dedication, and a deep love for our town — and each of you showed that in abundance. Your voice helped shape the conversation and your commitment made our democracy stronger.

📅 What’s Next?

All newly elected officials will be sworn in on Monday, November 10 at 5 p.m. at Town Hall. We invite all of you to attend and be part of this important moment as we officially welcome new leadership to continue the work of moving Cromwell forward.

Looking ahead to January, the Cromwell Democrats will hold a caucus to elect new members to the Democratic Town Committee. These are two-year terms and members are directly involved in shaping our town’s future. All registered Democrats can participate in this caucus.

🗣️ Be Part of the Work!

The election is over, but the work is not. We need your voice, your ideas, and your presence. Here's how you can stay involved:

• Attend meetings

• Speak during public comment

• Encourage your neighbors to engage

Together, we’ve made incredible progress since the 2023 election:

✅ A new Cromwell Human Resources Director will be hired to modernize and support our town’s workforce.

✅ Town leaders are being held accountable, with more transparency and responsiveness.

✅ Drainage projects are underway, protecting homes and neighborhoods from flooding and climate impacts.

✅ The new middle school has opened, providing students with the space and resources they deserve.
