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 met with Webelos at the Vernon Cub Scout Pack 221. We discussed civics, state government, and my role as a State Senator. It was part of the Webelos earning a badge for their scouting work. I enjoyed meeting the kids, talking with them, and answering their questions. I gave each of them a printed copy of the U.S. Constitution. Thank you Chris Dubiel, Den Leader, for inviting me.
Yesterday I stopped by the Friends of Willington Public Library book sale fundriaser. I dropped off a donation check from my wife and I. There is a huge selection of books for sale. They are open today 9 AM - 4 pm. A Bag of Books fundraiser sale is open during library hours . You can get more info or join at willingtonfriendsofthelibraryg@gamil.com. The fundraiser supports programming at the library. I know firsthand the benefits that libraries provide, having gone to libraries for many years as a kid and an adult, and when my son was growing up. We are blessed to have good libraries throughout the 35th Senate District. They provide more than books. They provide places for learning and community. Happy to support the work they do!
