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."
Election results matter, and so does civic engagement.
Honored to join CT Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas and local election officials and elected state leaders as Fairfield was recognized with the Democracy Cup for achieving the highest voter turnout in the “City” category during the November 2025 election.
This honor belongs to every Fairfield resident who took the time to participate, engage, and make their voice heard. Democracy is strongest when citizens step forward, stay informed, and vote.
This marks the third time Fairfield has earned the Democracy Cup, setting a powerful standard for civic engagement across Connecticut.
Let’s continue to lead by example, because every voice matters, and every vote counts.

AARP Honors Our Fight for Dignity in Care
I’m deeply honored to receive the 2025 Legislative Achievement Award from AARP for our work advancing protections against discrimination in long term care facilities.
As Ranking Member of the Aging Committee, I believe every Connecticut resident, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status, deserves dignity, safety, and respect in the place they call home. With the passage of House Bill 6913, we took an important bipartisan step to ensure nursing homes and long term care settings across our state reflect those values.
Thank you to AARP and to my colleagues in the General Assembly who helped make this law possible. I will continue fighting for policies that protect seniors and strengthen support for families across Connecticut.

Standing Up for Transparency and Accountability in Our Water System
Today, I testified in support of HB 5249 to strengthen transparency and accountability in decisions that impact one of our most essential resources: water. I am grateful to Matt Fulda of MetroCOG and Francis Pickering of WestCOG for standing alongside me in support of stronger governance and greater public trust. This bill is about protecting ratepayers, prioritizing environmental stewardship, and ensuring municipalities and residents have a real voice in decisions with long term consequences. Water is vital to life, public health, and economic stability, and it must be managed with openness and responsibility.
