When employees raise serious concerns, they deserve to be heard. The facts deserve a fair review, and leadership needs to follow through. That’s the standard we should expect from Connecticut government.

Connecticut deserves to hear about its future before early voting starts. Voters should have the chance to see candidates answer tough questions, side-by-side, before casting their ballots.

Who is watching the watchdogs? Audits and transparency laws only matter if someone follows through when problems are found. We don’t need another bureaucracy. We need accountability from the government we already have. Connecticut can do better.

We were told this new state commission would be made up of unpaid volunteers. Now there’s a $250,000 no-bid contract connected to its chairman. Maybe there’s a good explanation. If so, taxpayers deserve to hear it. Transparency and accountability matter.

Regardless of whether you support or oppose data centers, we need to talk about what safeguards and oversight should exist when the state enters into substantial, decades‑long tax incentive agreements. Should decisions involving millions of dollars in long‑term tax incentives rest primarily with one commissioner or a small group of appointed officials, or should elected representatives, the people who answer directly to voters, have a stronger role in approving these deals? As for me, I believe we need stronger oversight and real accountability. When the state makes commitments that last decades and affect taxpayers for a generation, the process should be transparent, documented, and reviewed by officials who are directly responsible to the public. Government should work for you, not around you. insideinvestigator.org/appro…

I concur wholeheartedly with Senator Fazio. I have consistently stood against sanctuary state policies and supported enforcement of our immigration laws Constantly attacking & suing the federal government might be good politics in a Democratic primary but the way to keep all our citizens safe will be to build cooperation between all levels of law enforcement
The deaths of Officer Cooper Whiteside and Brittany Islami are devastating, tragic, and should never have happened. My prayers are with their families, loved ones, and the entire Bridgeport Police Department. Governor Lamont has consistently put politics ahead of public safety. His weak-on-crime policies and refusal to enforce the law have made every Connecticut family and resident less safe. Officer Cooper Whiteside and Brittany Islami should have gone home that night. Gov. Lamont’s policies allowed Melissa Ramirez to be out freely in Connecticut, drive that car, and strike Officer Whiteside and Ms. Islami. Now there are children who will never see their mother again. And because of his pro-criminal Trust Act, Ramirez will still be allowed out on the streets freely in Connecticut after her sentence instead of being removed from Connecticut by authorities, where she does not have legal status to reside in the first place. As governor, I’ll always put public safety above politics, so that tragedies like these do not occur again.

This was enough to destroy Erin Stewart's campaign for Governor in CT. Will it matter when it's a Democrat doing it?
Troy Jackson's reimbursement game is so on point that he even had Maine taxpayers pay for his clothes.

I am saddened by the shocking loss last night of Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham had been a great friend to our former CT Senator Joe Lieberman and had, from his days as an Air Force JAG officer, devoted his life to public service

The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision is a significant victory for fairness in girls' and women's sports. The Court affirmed that states can protect girls' and women's school athletics by reserving female athletic competition for biological females. This ruling confirms that such policies are consistent with Title IX and do not violate the Equal Protection Clause. Connecticut should immediately adopt policies that protect girls' and women's sports by reserving female athletic competition for biological females. Records, titles, awards, and scholarships that were lost by female athletes under previous policies should be reviewed and, where permitted by law and the governing athletic organizations, restored to the women and girls who rightfully earned them. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. At the same time, girls and women deserve fair competition, equal opportunity, and the ability to compete on a level playing field. As your next Lieutenant Governor, I will support policies that protect fairness, preserve opportunities for female athletes, and treat every person with dignity and respect. Protecting women's sports and treating every person with dignity are not mutually exclusive. Connecticut can, and should, do both. quarles.com/newsroom/publica…

Great to stand with Ryan Fazio and other state and local leaders today discussing property tax relief and the burden unfunded state mandates place on our cities and towns. Connecticut has more than 1,400 state mandates impacting municipalities, many of them unfunded or underfunded. When Hartford passes new requirements without providing the funding to support them, local taxpayers are often left holding the bill through higher property taxes. The principle should be simple: if the state mandates it, the state should help pay for it. As Lieutenant Governor, I would work closely with mayors, first selectmen, town managers, and local officials across Connecticut to identify unnecessary mandates, eliminate costly unfunded requirements, and return more flexibility to our communities. Local leaders understand the needs of their towns better than bureaucrats in Hartford, and they deserve a stronger voice in the decisions that affect their budgets and taxpayers.

Governor Lamont says lowering electric rates is one of his top priorities. Connecticut families deserve an explanation for how that goal is achieved after signing HB 5340 into law. HB 5340 expands renewable energy programs and creates long-term energy commitments that critics warn could ultimately be paid for by ratepayers. Connecticut families are already struggling with some of the highest electric bills in the nation. They have a right to know how creating new long-term obligations helps lower those bills. You cannot promise lower electric rates while dismissing legitimate questions about the long-term costs that may ultimately be passed on to ratepayers. Connecticut residents deserve transparency, accountability, and a clear explanation of how this new law will reduce, not increase, the cost of electricity. ctmirror.org/2026/06/10/lamo…

Today, we remember the brave men who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Many were little more than boys. Some were just 16, 17, or 18 years old. They knew the dangers that lay ahead, yet they moved forward with a level of courage and sacrifice most of us can scarcely imagine. They faced overwhelming odds so future generations could live in freedom. Thank you to the Greatest Generation. Your courage changed the course of history, and your sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸 June 6, 1944. We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Governor Ned Lamont spent years defending PURA and the same failed energy policies that helped give Connecticut some of the highest electric bills in America. Now he suddenly wants to sound outraged after families, seniors, and small businesses have been warning Hartford for years. Connecticut needs real energy reform and real accountability not political theater after the damage is already done. Message From Governor Lamont to Connecticut Families share.google/DohgCECor70Yhjw…
