FEATURED STORY
Sen. Gordon Celebrates Passage of New School Bus Safety Law with Education, Transportation, and Public Safety Leaders
COVENTRY, CT – State Senator Jeff Gordon hosts press conference at the DATTCO Bus Yard in Coventry to celebrate the passage of legislation strengthening penalties for motorists who repeatedly fail to stop for school buses carrying children, legislation introduced by Senator Gordon and passed unanimously during the 2026 legislative session.
“The people of Connecticut want common sense, a fair deal, and their state government to work for them. They know what is best for their families and them. My goal is to take this message to the Capitol for you, working to deliver solutions that make your lives better.”
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark civil rights law that has expanded opportunities for millions of Americans with disabilities.
The ADA reminds us that everyone deserves dignity, respect, and equal opportunity. It shows what we can accomplish when we work together to build a more accessible and inclusive future. While we’ve made great progress, there’s still more work to do, and I’m proud to continue supporting those efforts in a bipartisan way.

Great news for Chaplin!
Chaplin will receive nearly $2 million for the Lynch Road and Chewink Road drainage and roadway improvement project. I’ve been advocating for this funding, and I’m proud to support getting it done.
Thank you to Governor Lamont and the Connecticut DOT.
This is a major investment in a road intersection that needs it, and just as importantly, it’s funding that doesn’t have to come from local taxpayers. When the state helps fund critical local infrastructure projects like this, towns don’t have to absorb those costs in their own budgets, helping reduce pressure on property taxes while delivering safer, more reliable roads.
This is exactly the kind of public works investment that benefits our communities, and I look forward to seeing this project move forward.
