Save Westport NOW
Since 1980
The Cribari Bridge in Saugatuck
Save Westport Now believes that land use issues will play a critical role in shaping the town in the years ahead, and we applaud and appreciate those willing to serve the town as elected volunteers. We encourage Westport residents to stay abreast of land use and quality of life issues, and to carefully review the positions of sitting elected officials, and candidates seeking election, making sure to support those candidates whose ideas most closely align with your vision for Westport.

For those who are new to Westport elections, the seven-member P&Z commission, by town bylaws, can have no more than four members from one party, which is why there are four Republicans and only one Democrat running this year (three of the four sitting Democrat-nominated members of the commission are not up for re-election this year).
For more than 40 years, Save Westport Now has been a voice of non-partisanship in town, recognizing that national party affiliation generally has little to do with a candidate's ability to solve local issues. As such, we have supported both Democrats and Republicans for the P&Z over the years.
