About the ADTC

The Andover CT Democratic Town Committee (ADTC) are the voice for Andover Democrats on critical issues, advocating for policies that enhance the quality of life in Andover.

We promote inclusive, open, and accountable town government.  It is the responsibility of the ADTC to recruit, nominate and help elect qualified Democrats to all boards and commissions, take positions on issues of importance to Andover and the Democratic Party, and monitor Andover’s boards and commissions to ensure they adhere to democratic principles.

Our involvement in significant issues facing our town include attending town meetings, writing letters to local newspapers, and hosting informational and educational seminars.
