Connecticut is striving to be #1
But @GovNedLamont did put us in the top 10!
Because of Governor Lamont and @CTDems policies, we’re paying ~70¢ per gallon just in taxes at the pump
“Connecticut could temporarily suspend the gas tax through the end of the year” — @ryanfazio

.@GovNedLamont’s “Rage Bait” pizza marketing campaign exceeded $2 million and was financed with taxpayer dollars
Do we think people are going to move to the state of Connecticut because we have good pizza?"
People may come for the pizza but they leave for the taxes @CTDems
New York just ranked the #1 pizza state in America.
Connecticut? A floppy #16 — only 29% positive Google reviews. Behind Missouri, Wisconsin, and Utah.
This is after Ned Lamont and CT Dems spent years declaring themselves the “Pizza Capital of the US,” putting up highway signs, and running billboards in NYC claiming they have better pizza than New York.
They can’t even do pizza right.
Classic one-party state performance. 🍕

@GovNedLamont says they’re “honoring their oath” by protecting illegals…. It’s literally insane
@AGWilliamTong Says "America Runs On Dunkin And Undocumented Immigrants,"
@ChrisMurphyCT : "The people we care about most, the undocumented"
Vote RED
Ned Lamont to ILLEGALS. "You're Welcome Here In CT". These criminals are being handed 3X what our seniors get who worked their entire lives to build CT on your dime. Seniors and middle class are being forced out. How can any sane person vote to extend Lamont's term in office?

. @GovNedLamont is lying to you
@CTDems policies influence electricity, housing supply, and labor costs.
@CTDems tax you coming, going, earning, spending, owning, leaving no stone unturned or penny unclaimed
Can you afford another four years of @GovNedLamont ?

Connecticut has some of the highest electricity rates in the country, the #2 highest property taxes, and ranks in the top 3 most expensive states to live in.
Donald Trump has nothing to do with any of it.
Ned Lamont and the Democrats control Connecticut. They’re in your wallet 24/7. Gas is still too expensive, and Lamont could have suspended the gas tax again like he did before — he just chose not to.
He works for the party, not for you.
Connecticut has nothing to lose. Vote him out.

CT Teachers’ unions @ceanews are responsible for @GovNedLamont not opting into the federal scholarship tax credit—during an election year.
Sen. Ryan Fazio @ryanfazio strongly supports opting in, calling the program “literally free money,” and will do so on “day one” if elected.
If you live in one of the gray states, your governor has blocked scholarships from the new Trump federal scholarship program from being given to kids in your state.
And I would recommend upgrading to a better governor.

. @ChrisMurphyCT’s “Labor of Love” is illegal immigration.
An illegal with a CT license kills a cop and Murphy dodges, pivots to guns, and calls enforcing the law “racist mythology.”
Dead Americans are just collateral for open borders @CTDems
here is chris murphy's response when asked about the illegal alien who killed a bridgeport, ct, police officer and his girlfriend... and why he always says illegal aliens commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens...

After basics, little is left for spending or saving
We’re drowning in property taxes & sky-high electric rates, @CTDems

@AGWilliamTong Says "America Runs On Dunkin And Undocumented Immigrants,"
@ChrisMurphyCT : "The people we care about most, the undocumented"
This is what’s wrong with CT
Democrat Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Democrat Commissioner Ronnell Higgins demand that ICE leave the illegals at Bradley Airport alone
They are suing the media to let everyone know Connecticut police will not be cooperating or aiding ICE in any way
“Leave these people alone”
“I want you to know the Connecticut State Police is assigned to Bradley Airport, but they are not involved in any way.
We respect, we follow the TRUST Act — I just want to assure everyone, the Connecticut State Police doesn't have anything involved in it. And we're going to continue to honor our oath”
He’s saying they’re “honoring their oath” by protecting illegals…. It’s literally insane
The Connecticut Trust Act is a state law that limits how and when Connecticut state and local law enforcement can cooperate with ICE. Meaning protecting their illegals

In CT, you can register to vote at the DMV by simply claiming U.S. citizenship—no documents needed @GovNedLamont
The SAVE America Act would fix this by mandating proof of citizenship
Why do @CTDems oppose secure elections?

Flock itself isn’t disappearing
Flock is simply being replaced by another vendor
Different vendor, same spying
The debate is no longer whether these systems should exist. It’s who gets to operate them.
DeFlock Connecticut NOW @GovNedLamont @CraigFishbein @ctgacc
"Before anyone declares victory, however, there's another side to the story.
The surveillance network itself isn't disappearing. In many communities, Flock is simply being replaced by another vendor."
Flock is just the warm up.
Dominoes. 😉

DeFlock Connecticut!
@GovNedLamont @therealDeFlock @CraigFishbein @ctgacc
If there are Flock cameras in your city, they are tracking, logging, and sharing your movements without a warrant. But we're not powerless. More and more communities are rejecting these creepy cameras!
Flock cameras have been spreading like cancer across the United States since January 2024.
Nearly 100,000 Flock cameras now exist to spy on you.
Every single camera must come down.

Multiple towns in Connecticut are DONE with Flock. All across America the cameras are being permanently yanked down after residents found out how much the data was being accessed.
A FOIA request showed that in just one town, third parties pulled the camera footage more than 500,000 times in only nine weeks.
Flock couldn’t even guarantee the information wasn’t being shared with federal agencies.

Remember the $103M Isaias penalty? @EversourceCT is doing it again — slow storm response after July 4 storms while pushing for another rate hike
CT is paying for their failures @GovNedLamont @CT_PURA
Contact lawmakers for bills imposing fines, compensation for extended outages
NO MORE RATE HIKES: Connecticut families are bracing for the increase in utility costs that come with the summer heat. They cannot afford another double digit rate increase to their electricity bills, but that’s what they’re getting under Gov. Lamont.
I stood with state, local, and business leaders today, along with concerned residents, at Dasco Welded Products in Waterbury to call for relief from the energy costs burdening Connecticut families and industries, already the second highest in the nation.
Meanwhile, the governor is releasing ads claiming he’ll “hold the utilities accountable” if given another four years to do the job he’s failed at for eight years already.
Connecticut families deserve leadership that will cut electricity bills, allowing them to stay in their homes, just like businesses should continue to grow their workforce and boost our state’s economy.

. @CTDems and @GovNedLamont are actively sabotaging @ICEgov to protect criminal illegal aliens—including child sex offenders—over their own citizens.
Agents masking for safety isn’t the problem. Your sanctuary policies that endanger families are @SenBlumenthal @AGWilliamTong
There are reports ICE agents in Connecticut are refusing to unmask. Government agents should never have to hide who they are.
I have fought to protect our state and will continue to do everything in my power to keep our communities safe.

People come to CT for the pizza, but leave because of the high taxes, housing prices & utility bills @GovNedLamont
CT folks fleeing to Florida don’t have to miss New Haven apizza anymore. Now you can have your Pepe’s pie AND no state income tax, & lower property taxes @CTDems
Pizza, community, and a thriving region. It’s always good to be in Eastern Connecticut and spend some time in Mystic hearing from our state’s small businesses.

Weak, shortsighted partisan move @GovNedLamont @CTDems that reflects poorly on CT
“Too expensive” for a Republican-led initiative? Sudden fiscal restraint? Selective austerity
Our leaders should be aggressively lowering taxes and utility rates to attract tourists and businesses

. @GovNedLamont is pulling out all the stops, paying medical debt off for a select group of CT voters during an election year
Meanwhile, approx. 1.3 million @EversourceCT customers see ZERO relief from the public benefits charges that are mandated by @CTDems policies
This week, Gov. @NedLamont announced his administration would be erasing medical debt for more than 97,000 Connecticut residents.
