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.”

🇺🇸🍨Thank you Hampton CT Recreation Commission and Hampton Antiquarian and Historical Society for hosting today’s America 250 Ice Cream Social. I enjoyed the ice cream and meeting with people at the Community Center and the Town Pavilion. Even Shaina dressed up for the festivities. Great community spirit.
🇺🇸A wonderful America 250 parade in Thompson this morning. Glad to be part of the community in celebrating Independence Day. Lots of pride, appreciation, and good cheer for our country. Thank you to everyone who organized, participated in, and watched the parade. Part of Thompson is in the 35th Senate District and I’m proud to represent the people who live there.👍
