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.”

Recently I attended an AARP-CT volunteer meeting. I thanked them for their hard work and strong advocacy. I talked about the bipartisan leadership work I did last year getting a historic prescription drug pricing reform bill passed into law and the bipartisan leadership work I did this year getting a new caregiver tax credit passed. Working together, we get good things done for hard-working people, families, and seniors. Thank you AARP.👍
I’m proud to share that the State Bond Commission has officially approved more than $6.5 million in funding for important projects across our district that will help improve infrastructure, protect the environment, and support our local communities, without placing the burden on local property taxpayers.
This includes:
✅ $1.275 million for Coventry for culvert and causeway improvements along Broad Way
✅ $1.5 million for Willington for replacement of the Liska Road culvert
✅ $1.3 million for Stafford for environmental cleanup efforts at the Witt School property
✅ $2.5 million for Vernon for remediation work at Daniel’s Mill
These investments will help address long-standing needs, improve public safety, and support future growth while helping our towns and residents avoid taking on these major costs alone. I’m grateful to everyone who helped move these projects forward.
