Darien Decides
A student-led, nonpartisan initiative focused on making local elections more transparent and accessible. We interview candidates using a consistent format so every voter can hear directly from each campaign—without bias or confusion.
We cover all of the local races in the town of Darien, plus the races for the US House, the Connecticut State House and Senate, and the high-profile 2026 CT Governor’s election.
Local elections have a direct impact on schools, taxes, and the community. Darien Decides helps ensure every voter has access to clear, fair, and comparable information—without political bias. Our goal is to simplify local politics and give the Darien community the tools to stay informed.
