The Fairfield Republican Town Committee is a local organization dedicated to advancing Republican agendas and candidates for local and state elections. It seeks out and promotes candidates for local and state elections and raises funds for the use of the Republican Party..
This collection contains primarily materials related to Republican campaigns from Arthur Decker's tenure with the Fairfield Republican Town Committee. It includes block captains handbooks, correspondence, newspapers and printed campaign materials and ephemera. There are a few pieces of Democratic materials interspersed highlighting the candidate against whom the Republican candidate was running, and references to Democratic candidates in the newspapers. The collection largely covers local Fairfield elections but has some state level materials and some from the Goldwater campaign for the presidency of 1964.

Series A, local Fairfield campaigns, mainly covers 1962-1966, with some documents relating to Decker's run for Representative Town Meeting in 1961 and attendance at the Republican State Convention in 1967. The folder for the 1970s & 1980s includes materials from Evelyn Hiller, who served as Town Clerk in the early 1980s.
