Democracy is predicated upon loyal opposition and thus the minority party has a duty to oversee the actions of the majority party in the public's interest. The public deserves a vocal minority to create, develop and express ideas in a positive context with the interest of the citizenry foremost in its mind. A diligent effort will ensure the continuation of present and past successes, create opportunities for new successes, as well as, bring about positive change. The Wilton Democratic Party embraces Wilton's past successes and outlines the plan for Wilton's future. We propose that the Wilton Democratic Party shall embrace Education, Environment and Town Government with Social Integrity as the basis for Wilton's continued prosperity.
Education is the foundation for the development of our future.
The issues and opportunities of the next millennium will be managed by the children of today. We support efforts to give this population of our citizenry the tools necessary to function as the future leaders in government, business and social reform. As the school aged population grows, we support efforts to create additional classroom space, provide educational tools such as computers and the addition of teachers to create smaller teacher to student ratios. We support academics, the arts and athletics. We promote that the Board of Education provide a comprehensive educational climate and appropriate academic program that will foster the skills, talents and abilities of every student and that will support all students in reaching their full potential.
