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.”
🇺🇸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.👍
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
Today, we celebrate 250 years of the American spirit by honoring the ideals of liberty, democracy, and opportunity that have guided our nation since 1776.
I am most mindful that we celebrate our freedom and our rights. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of rignts, and many subsequent Amendments speak powerfully that we are all created equal; that we have inherent rights given to us by God and not granted tomus by government; and that the framework of our democracy is to protect us from others and government abridging or taking away our rights.
We honor those who came before us, those who serve today, and the generations who will shape our future.
Happy Independence Day, and here’s to America 250!
Stafford SummerFest is always a fun time. Despite the high heat, this year was no exception. Thank you to everyone who organized SummerFest. I see firsthand the community spirit by continuing to meet in-person with many people, listening to them, and talking with them. I see it by continuing to support many local organzations and businesses. Whenever I am asked what makes the 35th State Senate District special, my #1 answer is the people of our towns. Keep going strong Stafford. Go Bulldogs!
