Barry Walters is a Democratic candidate running for re-election to the West Hartford Town Council. With years of experience in helping people, Barry is committed to building upon the success of our Democratic leadership that has kept West Hartford at the top of the list as a best place to raise a family, work, play, and retire.
Local Government serves as the last firewall to the chaos in Washington, DC. Barry knows that West Hartford faces issues around affordability, infrastructure, climate change mitigation and preparation, public safety of our residents and visitors, Vision Zero, and education. While there are some issues that a municipality has more direct control over than others, it is imperative to protect the values and progress made. I am committed to advocating whenever possible to protect and enhance our quality of life in West Hartford.
