FEATURED STORY
Sen. Gordon Stands up for Taxpayers and Government Transparency during Senate Debate on Opening Day
HARTFORD, CT — State Senator Jeff Gordon (R–Woodstock) stood strong for the taxpayers of the 35th District and Connecticut, and for the core democratic principles of government accountability, transparency, and the public’s constitutional right to representation by their elected officials. He strongly stood against government overreach, behind-the-scenes use of taxpayer money, and the concentration of spending authority in the hands of a single individual (the Governor) without public input and legislative oversight.

“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.”
The video shared on President Trump’s Truth social account depicting former President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes in a Lion King meme, is wrong, offensive, and unacceptable. The racist nature of it is hurtful. There has been bipartisan condemnation of the post. The post was removed. It should never have been posted at all.
I stood up for taxpayers and government transparency this week in the Senate. I voted NO on S.B. 83 because it hands over more than $330 million of public money to the Governor to spend without public hearings, legislative oversight, or accountability. All behind closed doors.
This isn’t about the programs themselves; it’s about bad process. Taxpayer dollars belong to the people, and decisions on how they’re spent should be made openly, with input from elected representatives and the public. I also supported amendments that would have either returned money to taxpayers or restored proper legislative oversight, but neither passed.
I’ll keep fighting to make sure your voice is heard and your money is protected.
