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."
Supporting Innovation in Local Agriculture
I had the pleasure of visiting Gilbertie’s Herb Garden to see firsthand how their recent Farm Transition Grant is being put to work. This highly competitive program, led by the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, awarded over $500,000 to farms across our state this year, a major investment in Connecticut agriculture.
It was great spending time with owner Sal Gilbertie and farmer Matt Oricchio, learning how their $24,999 grant is supporting the installation of a new computer system to manage greenhouse operations. This kind of smart technology helps improve efficiency, sustainability, and long term success for local farms.
Seeing this investment in action reinforces how important it is to support our agricultural community, strengthen local food systems, and ensure farms like Gilbertie’s continue to thrive for generations to come.

A pleasure hosting Fairfield Town Clerk Betsy Browne-Miller at the Capitol yesterday.
Her advocacy on behalf of town clerks across Connecticut highlights the critical role they play in protecting the integrity, transparency, and trust in our elections.
Deep appreciation to Betsy, and to all town clerks, for their dedicated public service.
Honoring Earth Day Through Community & Stewardship 🌎🌱
Great to celebrate Earth Day with Sustainable Fairfield’s Environmental Legislators Forum alongside the Fairfield YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, bringing our community together around environmental awareness and action.
I was inspired by student artwork through the Connecticut Coalition for Climate Action contest, congratulations to Victoria Wei on earning 3rd place!
Proud to be recognized as an environmental champion for over a decade, I remain committed to protecting our natural resources for future generations.
