Senator Tony Hwang Receives Statewide Award for Efforts Supporting Public Safety and Law Enforcement
BRISTOL, CT—The Connecticut Police Chiefs Association (CPCA) has selected State Senator Tony Hwang (R—Fairfield) to receive the coveted Carroll J. Hughes Legislator of the Year Award at the CPCA’s annual meeting on December 9, 2025 at the Bristol Event Center. The award recognizes Hwang’s outstanding commitment to law enforcement, public safety, and the well-being of Connecticut residents.
Hwang was chosen by several distinguished law-enforcement leaders from his district, including Chief Michael Paris, Chief David Kullgren, and former Chief Jim Viadero for his consistent support of police officers and his legislative leadership in the area of public safety.
“It is an honor to be recognized by those who serve as the first line of defense when keeping our communities safe,” Hwang said. “This award is not just for me—it honors the service of every officer who works tirelessly to protect people and families in our towns and cities.”

Hwang Honored as Leading Legislative Partner in Public Safety & Law Enforcement
Today I was deeply honored to receive the Legislator of the Year Award from the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association, a recognition I value enormously. To have this award supported by respected law enforcement leaders from my district, including Fairfield Police Chief Michael Paris, Newtown Police Chief David Kullgren, and former Newtown Chief Jim Viadero, makes it especially meaningful. These are professionals who understand the daily risks, responsibilities, and sacrifices required to keep our communities safe, and I am grateful for their confidence in my long-standing commitment to public safety.
This award reflects years of working side-by-side with law enforcement to strengthen roadway safety initiatives like Vision Zero, crack down on street takeovers, and protect our schools, homes, and neighborhoods. It also underscores my steadfast support for policies that improve police recruitment, training, wellness, and retention so departments have the tools and personnel they need to serve with excellence and integrity.
I will continue to stand firmly with our chiefs, officers, and community partners to build safer roads, safer neighborhoods, and a safer future for every family in Connecticut.

Honoring Connecticut’s Tireless Farmers 🎄
There is something truly special about standing with the farmers who make Easton, and communities across Connecticut, places where holiday traditions take root and thrive. Today we celebrated Easton’s agricultural businesses as Connecticut’s Christmas Tree Capital, an honor that reflects generations of hard work, stewardship, and deep community pride.
These family-run Christmas tree farms do so much more than grow trees. They preserve open space, protect our watershed and waterways, sustain Easton’s agrarian character, and create memories for families who return year after year to choose their tree. Their connection to the land helps define this community, and they rely on our continued support to keep these traditions, and Connecticut farming, strong.
My sincere thanks to the Easton Agricultural Commission for their leadership and for making this celebration possible. Let’s keep supporting Easton’s farms and all CT-grown agriculture, this season and all year long.
