PROUDLY SERVING THE 28TH DISTRICT
State Senator Tony Hwang
Chief Deputy Republican Leader
Tony Hwang, serving his fifth term, represents Connecticut’s 28th District. A Chief Deputy Republican Leader, he is the Ranking Member of the Aging, Transportation and Insurance and Real Estate Committees, and a member of numerous other committees. Tony is the first Asian-Pacific American State Senator in Connecticut history and has been honored for his commitment to strengthening communities, youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
"I am committed to putting our community first, guided by independent thinking and a dedication to finding the best solutions for the people I serve. By listening to your concerns, leading with integrity, and working together, we can build a stronger, brighter future for everyone in the 28th Senate District and across Connecticut. For me, it’s always about people—above politics."
A wonderful day in Bridgeport as the community gathered for a Juneteenth celebration with residents, community leaders, volunteers, and elected representatives.
Juneteenth reminds us that as the Civil War ended, the struggle for freedom and equality continues every day.
I’m proud CT recognizes Juneteenth as a state holiday. We should never take that for granted. This is an opportunity to reflect on our history, celebrate progress, and recommit ourselves to treating one another with dignity, respect, and understanding.
Our diversity is one of America’s greatest strengths, and it is through diversity that we can build a more perfect union.
Rabbi Lazowski’s life was a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and serving others. Having endured the Holocaust, he chose to spend his life teaching, healing, and bringing people together through faith.
He had a remarkable ability to connect with people from all walks of life and inspire them to make a positive difference in their communities. At the heart of this was his understanding of our shared human experience. Connecticut is a better place because of his life’s work and the countless lives he touched along the way.
I will deeply miss his presence in the State Senate and the annual Holocaust Remembrance program. His impact and powerful lessons to never forget the sorrow of the Holocaust will be felt for generations to come.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, Ruth, his family, and all those who were blessed to know and learn from him. May his memory and legacy continue to be a source of inspiration and blessing.
