Tony Hwang for First Selectman: Trusted, Independent, and Dedicated to Fairfield

Tony Hwang’s story is rooted in resilience and service. Born in Taiwan to parents who fled Communist China, Tony came to America as a young child and was raised with the values of hard work, education, and opportunity. Those values have guided his life and career in public service.

Tony’s service to Fairfield began in 2005, when a local education issue inspired him to run for the Representative Town Meeting. Since then, he has earned a reputation as a trusted and independent leader who prioritizes people over politics. As Fairfield’s longtime representative in Hartford, Tony has fought for fiscal responsibility, educational excellence, safe neighborhoods, and environmental stewardship, values that Fairfield families care about.

His commitment is deeply personal. Tony and his wife, Grace, raised their family here. He has been an active volunteer with the Wakeman Boys & Girls Club, the Center for Family Justice, the Kennedy Collective, and many other local nonprofits.

As First Selectman, Tony will bring the same energy and integrity he has shown throughout his career:

• Strong Fiscal Stewardship – Managing town resources wisely to keep Fairfield affordable.
• Excellence in Education – Ensuring our schools remain among the best in Connecticut.
• Public Safety & Quality of Life – Supporting first responders and protecting neighborhoods.
• Sustainability & Smart Growth – Preserving our environment and guiding responsible development.
• Community Engagement – Listening, collaborating, and always putting Fairfield first.
  
  

Tony isn’t just running for office, he’s running to ensure Fairfield remains the vibrant, welcoming community we are all proud to call home.
