FEATURED STORY
Sen. Gordon Votes No on Appropriations Budget Over Lack of Needed Education Funding
HARTFORD, CT – State Senator Jeff Gordon (R-Woodstock) voted “NO” on the Appropriations Committee’s proposed budget because it fails to meaningfully increase funding for the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant, a critical source of state support for K-12 public education in the 35th District and across Connecticut. He also voted “NO” because the proposed budget is not balanced, was not fully vetted with the state’s revenue estimates, and misses key priorities like education funding support for our towns.

“The people of Connecticut want common sense, a fair deal, and their state government to work for them. They know what is best for their families and them. My goal is to take this message to the Capitol for you, working to deliver solutions that make your lives better.”
Wonderful time at the Hampton Fire Company’s Annual Ham and Bean Dinner. I presented former Chief Noel Waite with a state citation recognizing and thanking him for 50 years of service. Wow! Job very well done Noel. The fire station was packed with people. I enjoyed the good company and the good food. An opportunity to once again thank in person local fire fighters and EMS. Community events like this remind me of the importance of the work done in the legislature and of my service on the Public Safety Committee.
Connecticut ratepayers are already struggling with high electric bills. That’s why I voted NO on H.B. 5340, which extends solar subsidy programs funded through public benefit taxes on your monthly electric bill for another 20 years and would lock in potentially expensive solar energy contracts.
I support exploring solar and other zero-carbon energy sources as part of our state’s energy future, but affordability must come first. Families, seniors, workers, and small businesses cannot continue to shoulder higher costs.
I will continue fighting to make Connecticut more affordable and to put ratepayers first.
