PROUDLY SERVING THE 16TH DISTRICT
State Senator Rob Sampson
Senior Deputy Republican Leader
Rob Sampson, re-elected to a fourth term in 2024, represents Connecticut’s 16th District. He is the Ranking Member on the Government Administration & Elections Committee, the Housing Committee, and the Labor & Public Employees Committee. Rob is widely known as an advocate for America’s core principles, restoring our system of limited, representative, constitutional government, protecting private contracts and defending the natural rights of his constituents.
“I am honored to be chosen by the people of the 16th District as their voice at the State Capitol. I remain committed to defending our American principles of freedom, representation, limited constitutional self-government, and the rule of law. I believe that with hard work and our collective voices, Connecticut can become a safer and more affordable state with a bright future for all. As always, I will put in the hard work to make it happen.”
ICYMI I was on the air with Tom Shattuck on WTIC 1080AM last week to talk about the Opening Day of Connecticut legislature for 2025 and the insanity that is DEI, and our Governor's plan to continue injecting woke ideology into our state government. Definitely worth a listen. Thanks to Tom for having me on!

For Immediate Release
January 9, 2024
Sen. Rob Sampson and Sen. Eric Berthel issued the following statement regarding Connecticut’s attorney general saying he would rather not describe Connecticut as a “sanctuary” state.
“The attorney general prefers not to refer to Connecticut as a ‘sanctuary’ state. He says the word ‘sanctuary’ is not ‘helpful’.
He’d be more accurate if he called Connecticut a ‘super sanctuary’ state, because Connecticut most assuredly is.
And Connecticut’s super sanctuary policy is statewide, not just in a few cities.
That’s because Connecticut Democrats passed the Trust Act, which prohibits local and state law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities – including for violent criminals who are convicted felons, known gang members, on the terrorist watch-list, or awaiting a deportation order.
And Democrats want to further enhance that law’s reach in the 2025 legislative session.
Connecticut Democrats have in effect built a flashing neon sign, inviting illegal immigrants here with free benefits.
America is a melting pot, but people should come in through the front door.”
