🚨This week, we unveiled our bold Affordability Plan, and it’s built to deliver real relief for Connecticut families.
For too long, hardworking residents have watched their paychecks shrink under the weight of crushing taxes, sky-high electric bills, and costly government mandates.
We hear you. And we’re fighting back.
Our plan puts real money back in your pocket with permanent, structural relief:
🚘 Eliminates the car tax 💰 Delivers a $1 BILLION income tax cut 💡 Lowers electric bills and eliminates the public benefits charge ❌ Rolls back costly mandates and unnecessary licensing fees
This is not a one-time $200 gimmick.
