Dr. Jeff Gordon, elected in 2022, represents Connecticut’s 35th District. He serves as a Ranking Member on the Planning & Development and Veterans’ Affairs Committees, and is a member of the Appropriations, Public Health, and Public Safety Committees. As one of only two medical doctors in the Connecticut legislature, “Doctor-Senator” is known for his work on health insurance reform as well as healthcare affordability and accessibility, especially for rural communities.
“It is good news that in Connecticut, those who rely upon the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for food now have full benefits restored for November. The state is filling in the gap of partial federal funding. I have been advocating for a common-sense, straightforward, and fiscally responsible way to help without budget gimmicks. I am glad to have worked with others to get this done, using the state’s surplus fund to do this, with checks and balances in place. If the federal government reimburses Connecticut, then put that money back into the surplus account. I ask our federal delegation to redouble efforts to get reimbursement.”
