“Republicans have argued for years that the state should eliminate these hidden taxes from our electric bills.

Our electricity bills are too damn high.

End these hidden taxes that are crushing already struggling Connecticut families and job creators.

Let’s make our state more affordable for all.

Let’s deliver relief.

That’s what Republicans have pushed for in the past, and that’s what we will be pushing for in the 2026 legislative session.”
