Sen. Gordon Celebrates Passage of New School Bus Safety Law with Education, Transportation, and Public Safety Leaders
COVENTRY, CT – State Senator Jeff Gordon hosts press conference at the DATTCO Bus Yard in Coventry to celebrate the passage of legislation strengthening penalties for motorists who repeatedly fail to stop for school buses carrying children, legislation introduced by Senator Gordon and passed unanimously during the 2026 legislative session.
“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.”
Everywhere I go across the 35th District, I hear the same concern: Connecticut is too expensive to afford living and working here.
This isn’t just a talking point, it’s a reality for many residents and small business owners who are feeling the strain every day.
I’ve been fighting for long-term solutions to address our state’s affordability crisis. Important work has been done. I’m working to do more.
I’m calling for a special session to take further action now and get more results for the people of Connecticut.

Great news for northeastern Connecticut! 🎉🌲
I’m excited to celebrate a $40 million federal investment to improve outdoor recreation and public health through the Air Line State Park Trail, including more than $7.1 million in first-year funding through the Rural Health Transformation Program.
As a practicing physician and Co-Chair of the legislature’s bipartisan Rural Caucus, I know how important access to safe, free outdoor recreation is for the health of our communities. This funding will improve the trail with smoother surfaces, better drainage, improved signage, more accessible entry points, and more.
Rural families deserve high-quality opportunities to stay active and healthy close to home, and this investment is a big step forward.
It was great to join the community at Vernon’s annual July in the Sky celebration! I enjoyed walking around, talking with residents, and seeing so many families out celebrating together. It was also nice to see Mayor Dan Champagne and Councilor TeriLynn Rogers at the event.
A special thank you to the Vernon, CT Police Department for everything they do to keep our community safe. I appreciated the opportunity to thank the officers personally for their dedication and service.
Thank you to the volunteers, organizers, first responders, and town staff who made this wonderful community event possible. 🇺🇸
