Connecticut's affordability crisis didn't happen overnight, it's the result of years of bad policy choices.

Today, I joined my fellow Senate Republican’s to roll out a structural affordability plan that actually fixes what made our state so expensive in the first place.

This plan delivers real relief: cutting income taxes, lowering electric bills, and effectively eliminating the car tax for working families — nearly $1 billion back into taxpayers' pockets. No temporary rebates. No election-year gimmicks. Just real, long-term relief. It's time to change course and make Connecticut affordable again.

Democrats are already lining up to try to unseat me, and they will pull out all the stops to do it. After the ground they gained last year, they see this as their moment to lock in control of Connecticut.

That means now is not the time to sit on the sidelines.

I’m asking friends and allies who believe in freedom, fiscal responsibility, and honest government to step up and help us finish this fundraising phase strong. Early support matters, and it sends a clear message that we’re organized, energized, and ready to fight back.

Please join me on February 17 in Southington for a joint event with my friend and colleague Gale Mastrofrancesco, or on February 24 in Prospect for a second gathering I’m hosting on my own.

These will be relaxed, enjoyable evenings, but they serve a serious purpose. If we want to take back our state and stop Connecticut from continuing down the wrong path, now is the time to get involved.

Hope to see you at one, or both, of these events.
