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.”
It was great welcoming two classes from Woodstock Elementary to the Connecticut State Capitol today! 📚🚌
I always enjoy meeting with students from our district, answering their questions, and giving them a closer look at how state government works. Thank you to the students, teachers, and chaperones for taking the trip to Hartford. I hope you had a fun and educational visit to the Capitol!
During National Police Week, we honor the brave men and women in law enforcement who put themselves on the line each day to keep our communities safe.
Their service, sacrifice, and commitment do not go unnoticed. Thank you to the officers across the 35th District and throughout Connecticut for all that you do for our families, neighborhoods, and communities.
Today I joined Governor Lamont, legislative leaders, and Connecticut dairy farmers at Mapleleaf Farm in Hebron for an important announcement: $22.5 million in funding over the next two years to support our state’s dairy industry. 🚜🥛🌾
It was great to see several dairy farmers from the 35th District at today’s press conference, while many others were unable to attend because they were hard at work keeping their farms running.
Our dairy farmers work around the clock to feed our communities and preserve Connecticut’s agricultural community, but rising costs and federal pricing pressures continue to threaten family farms across our state. Supporting local agriculture means protecting jobs, open farmland, food security, and a way of life that has defined our communities for generations.
I’m proud to stand with our farmers and support meaningful solutions that help keep Connecticut dairy farms strong, not just for today, but for future generations.
