PROUDLY SERVING THE 28TH DISTRICT
State Senator Tony Hwang
Chief Deputy Republican Leader
Tony Hwang, serving his fifth term, represents Connecticut’s 28th District. A Chief Deputy Republican Leader, he is the Ranking Member of the Aging, Transportation and Insurance and Real Estate Committees, and a member of numerous other committees. Tony is the first Asian-Pacific American State Senator in Connecticut history and has been honored for his commitment to strengthening communities, youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
"I am committed to putting our community first, guided by independent thinking and a dedication to finding the best solutions for the people I serve. By listening to your concerns, leading with integrity, and working together, we can build a stronger, brighter future for everyone in the 28th Senate District and across Connecticut. For me, it’s always about people—above politics."
Congratulations to Chip’s Family Restaurant on celebrating 60 incredible years of serving our communities!
Today’s anniversary celebration was made even more memorable as Chip’s brought back its original 1966 menu prices, giving longtime customers and new visitors alike a delicious taste of history.
For six decades, Chip’s has been far more than a beloved restaurant. Through its warm hospitality, homemade meals, and legendary pancakes, it has created cherished family memories while also making a lasting difference through generous charitable giving, strong local partnerships, and unwavering support for communities across Connecticut.
It was my honor to present owners Dina Chatzopoulos Bajko and Adam Bajko with a Connecticut General Assembly legislative citation in recognition of this remarkable milestone and their outstanding commitment to community.
Congratulations to Dina, Adam, the entire Chip’s family, and the loyal customers whose support has made this extraordinary legacy possible. Wishing you continued success and many more years of bringing people together around the table and strengthening the communities you so proudly serve. 🥞🎉
A great day celebrating a historic new chapter for the performing arts! 🎭 The partnership between Fairfield Theatre Company, Downtown Cabaret Theatre, and Black Rock Theater will create even more opportunities for young performers, inspire new audiences, and strengthen our vibrant arts community. Thank you to Executive Director Patsy Fox for the invitation, and to my dear friend Maureen Hamill for her incredible leadership and dedication to the arts!
Yesterday, I was honored to join Fairfield Theatre Company as it announced a historic new chapter for the performing arts in our region.
The merger of Downtown Cabaret Theatre and Black Rock Theater with Fairfield Theatre Company is more than the coming together of three outstanding organizations—it is a bold investment in creativity, arts education, and the future of live performance. By uniting their strengths, they will expand opportunities for aspiring artists, inspire audiences of all ages, and ensure that the performing arts continue to thrive in our communities.
My heartfelt thanks to Fairfield Theatre Company Executive Director Patsy Fox for the invitation, and to my dear friend Maureen Hamill for her visionary leadership, passion, and steadfast commitment to cultivating artistic talent and enriching the cultural life of our region.
The arts have a unique ability to inspire, connect, and remind us of our shared humanity. They bring people together across generations and backgrounds, strengthen the fabric of our communities, and tell the stories that define who we are. I look forward to watching this exciting partnership flourish and to the lasting impact it will have on audiences, artists, and our community for generations to come.
