Sen. Harding: CT Dems “playing politics”, GOP is the “Party of Public Safety”

Sen. Minority Leader Stephen Harding today issued the following statement:

“What a shock: With Election Day five weeks away, Democrats are playing politics. Republicans in 2023 sought to enhance and strengthen the legislation regarding illegal gun crimes.

Republicans have consistently been the Party of Public Safety, while Connecticut Democrats provide lip service when addressing actual gun crime in our urban and poverty-stricken areas.

It speaks volumes that Connecticut Democrats are avoiding talking about lowering our electric bills, reducing the cost of groceries and lowering insurance rates.

It also speaks volumes that Democrats refuse to address the illegal immigration wave which is impacting public safety and budgets here in Connecticut and throughout the nation.

Connecticut Republicans will continue to stand for reasonable, common sense policies which make our communities safer. Democrats will continue to posture and play political games.”
