Governor Ned Lamont
Governor Lamont won in 2018 by 44k votes. That was a wave year for Democrats with everyone motivated to vote against Donald Trump. Now the Trump voters are motivated to vote against Democrats across the country. Republicans are motivated and ready, which means we need to be too.
Three years ago, Governor Lamont raised the minimum wage, Stefanowski and the Republicans have gone on the record as opposed to the minimum wage. If we lose, the minimum wage is definitely on the chopping block.
Governor Lamont has been a national leader on reproductive rights. He signed a first in the nation law that protects abortion access and providers that are under attack from other states across the nation. The Supreme Court has put Connecticut on the front line of this fight, and we can’t afford to have a governor who won’t stand up for a person’s right to choose.
Governor Lamont did an amazing job protecting Connecticut during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Connecticut being considered a model state in the nation when it came to vaccination rates and overall safety. He managed to cut taxes during a national economic crisis, and he is working tirelessly every day to make Connecticut a better place.

Norm makes sense for the 33rd!
State Senator Norm Needleman has brought our values and voices to the state Senate. He listens, brings people together and gets the job done to deliver results:
• Held Eversource accountable when their management left people in the dark after Tropical Storm Isaias. Norm championed the bipartisan approval of the “Take Back Our Grid Act” which makes utilities compensate customers for prolonged power outages and mandating minimum line-worker staffing levels with Connecticut workers
• A strong voice for increasing Connecticut’s use of renewable energy and coastal resilience against climate change in order to protect our beaches, parks, and neighborhoods
• Paying down our long-existent pension debt so the state can invest more resources in our towns
• Expanding post-traumatic stress health coverage to police officers, firefighters, EMS and other emergency responders
Norm understands what it means to work at the check-out counter, on the factory line and in the CEO’s seat where every dollar matters.
He started working at 13 years old in his father’s one-man grocery store. After working as a taxi driver and on the factory line, he would start his own manufacturing business before becoming a public servant as the first selectman of Essex and a state senator. His business employs over 150 people in Connecticut and, as he reminds his sons, they are responsible for the well-being of over 150 employees and their families.
Norm has voted for numerous solutions to lower costs for families and put more money in their pocketbooks including:
• Providing tax relief to families by creating the Child Tax Rebate and eliminate state income taxes on pensions and annuities for seniors
• Suspending the gas tax until December 2022
• Increasing Connecticut’s Earned Income Tax Credit
