The Independent Party of Connecticut (IPC) is a minor political party in the State of Connecticut. As of November 3, 2014, Connecticut had 16,189 active voters registered with the Connecticut Secretary of State with the Independent party, making it the third largest party in the state.[1] The party has at least one elected official. In November 2013, Lawrence DePillo was elected to the Waterbury Board of Aldermen.[2]

After a 2022 Independent Party gubernatorial convention in which party chairman Mike Telesca voted to break a 79-79 tie between businessmen Bob Stefanowski and Rob Hotaling, the Party nominated Hotaling. Hotaling failed to garner the necessary 1% to maintain ballot access for the Independent Party. As a result, any Independent Party member who does not live in an area governed by a local IP town committee forfeits their membership. [3]

History

In the 1930s, an Independent-Republican party was formed by Professor Albert Levitt of Redding, CT and Irving Fisher, a Yale economist.[4] However, the official title of "Independent Party" was used later on. In 1958, Andrew C. LaCroix of Easton, Connecticut was acting treasurer of the Independent Party of Connecticut. The party backed Ms. Vivian Kellems of Stonington, Connecticut in a 1956 write-in campaign. At that time, Anthony Sparaco of Old Saybrook was president, and Rosemary Favale of Waterbury was vice-president.[5] In 1959, Charles R. Iovino of Milford, Connecticut was also elected as an Independent write-in candidate.[6] As early as 1967, the Independent Party of Connecticut successfully held meetings throughout the State.[7] However, it is speculated that the Independent Party of Connecticut was actually formed on August 23, 1966.[8]

Town committees

An Independent Town Committee is a local organization that affiliates with the State-Central Executive Board. According to bylaws, they must consist of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer.
