“Good. The EV mandate would have crushed already struggling middle class families and businesses.

People can’t afford their current crippling electric bills and taxes. Just imagine your future bills if this mandate became reality?

Republicans pushed back on the mandate. We toured the state and listened to people who want choice when it comes to EVs. We thank them for speaking out.

Republicans will continue to demand a more affordable Connecticut.”
