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.
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.”
Annual Fire Service Day at the Capitol was a great chance to connect again with the people who keep our communities safe.
I’m continuing to push for increased EMS Medicaid reimbursement rates through bills like SB 499 and SB 429, and my work on the Appropriations Committee, to help ease costs on municipal budgets and support affordability on property taxes for residents.
It was great speaking with local fire chiefs and leaders, including Chief Alex Moore of Willington, Chief Bud Meyers of Coventry, and Deputy Fire Marshal Kern of Ellington, about public safety priorities.
I also shared with Chief Moore an update on the state land transfer I got approved with DOT for Willington Fire Department No. 1 on River Road. This project is moving forward at minimal cost to the town and will allow for a new station to replace the current damaged facility.
I am proud to serve on the Public Safety and the Appropriations committees.

After 73 years, the Stafford High School boys basketball team brought home a state championship win, an incredible achievement for these student-athletes, coaches, and the entire community.
