FEATURED STORY
Sen. Gordon Votes No on Appropriations Budget Over Lack of Needed Education Funding
HARTFORD, CT – State Senator Jeff Gordon (R-Woodstock) voted “NO” on the Appropriations Committee’s proposed budget because it fails to meaningfully increase funding for the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant, a critical source of state support for K-12 public education in the 35th District and across Connecticut. He also voted “NO” because the proposed budget is not balanced, was not fully vetted with the state’s revenue estimates, and misses key priorities like education funding support for our towns.

“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.”
🐄🌾Udder chaos in CT.
Connecticut farms are facing rising costs that threaten their future in our state. Senate Republicans have stood with farmers every step of the way, including at press conferences and the PA-490 farmland tax hike farmer’s forum. But more needs to be done.
That’s why we’re pushing for a farmer tax credit to reduce costs, protect local farms, and keep food affordable for CT families. Senate Republicans will keep fighting for our farmers and the people of our state!
I’m wrapping up my in-person office hours on April 18. Thank you to everyone who has joined me so far, and stay tuned for future dates!
Join me in Eastford at Always Moore Coffee with State Representative Pat Boyd, and in Willington at the Public Library.
These office hours are a great opportunity to share your thoughts, ask questions, and discuss state issues. I hope to see you there!
Connecticut residents are still dealing with some of the highest utility costs in the country, and I remain committed and active to lowering them.
I sent a follow-up letter requesting a full audit of PURA’s pandemic moratorium program to determine how it was handled and whether ratepayers were unfairly burdened. Previously, despite my meeting with the former Chair, I received no information.
I will continue pushing for transparency and clear accounting of the Public Benefits Tax which was put in place unilaterally by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (and extended at the request of the Energy & Technology Committee Chairs).
We owe it to ratepayers to ensure fairness and restore trust in the process.
