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."
I was honored to stand alongside families, advocates, and community leaders for Connecticut’s 2026 Autism Awareness Day at the Capitol last week.
This year’s theme was “Autism and Humanity: Every Life Has Value,” and reminds us of a simple but powerful message:
every voice matters.
Thank you to the families & advocates who shared their stories of love, resilience, and support.
Nearly two decades ago, we made important progress expanding access to early diagnosis and care but there is still more work to do, especially as individuals transition into school, employment, and independent living.
As I said that day, we are not looking for sympathy, but greater awareness, understanding, and compassion. This is about building a culture that embraces every individual with dignity and respect and ensuring that every family has the support they deserve. “
We’re halfway through the short 2026 legislative session!
