UPCOMING EVENTS
Join Sen. Jeff Gordon for a Legislative Update in the 35th district!
“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.”
This is a major win for the Town of Tolland!
I was proud to join my colleagues in fighting strongly for the people of Tolland’s serious concerns about the proposed juvenile criminal detention facility on Merrow Road and the way the Judicial Branch handled the process.
Thank you to the many Tolland residents and town officials who spoke up, attended meetings, and made their voices heard throughout this process. Your engagement made a real difference.
When residents, local officials, and legislators work together, we can ensure that decisions affecting our communities are addressed and that their voices are heard.
A big win for the people of Tolland!
Today at the Capitol, I stood with my Senate Republican colleagues to defend individual rights, parental rights, medical freedom, and the public’s right to be heard.
Several bills being heard today could impact your ability to make medical decisions for yourself and your children. At the same time, some committees are limiting how long the public can testify on these important issues. There will be many people who will not have their voices heard. This is wrong!
Public input is a critical part of the legislative process. Even if hearings are cut short, I want you to know that I am still here to listen. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and I will continue to stand up for your freedoms and ensure your voice is heard.
This is your state government! It should work for you!
