The Connecticut delegation to the Democratic National Convention met this evening. Our delegates voted overwhelmingly to support the next President of the United States, Kamala Harris.
Over the words “integrity, honesty, and respect,” they spray-paint this.
If you want integrity, honesty, and respect among local officials, support the Democrats on your ballot.
Congratulations to Jahana Hayes on her re-election to Congress!!!
With every vote counted and double-checked, it’s time to celebrate this hard-fought win.
No Democrat has ever held the 151st CT House seat in Greenwich.
Until now. Hector Arzeno FLIPS the seat from Red to Blue in another Democratic pickup. Hec yes!
@DLCC
Rep Quentin Williams was the model of a public servant and his tragic death has us all in mourning.
Q was a dear friend to so many in government and his community. His smile lit up a room, and he was admired and respected by all.
We send our deepest condolences to his family.
There are not "good people on both sides" of the fight against white supremacist violence.

on the right-wing normalization of racism and its deadly convergence with America's acceptance of gun violence:

@ChrisMurphyCT
“Acting now to prevent more deaths… has been Murphy's plea to lawmakers on Capitol Hill time and time again since Newtown nearly a decade ago. He speaks candidly about the opposition to his reforms and where he places his blame”
Once every single vote is counted and certified by election officials, we are confident Jahana Hayes will win re-election. At the moment, some towns are under-reported in official records.
Getting it right > getting it fast
“The group that went to the border has found a way to compromise on difficult issues like guns and get bills passed in the House and the Senate, and our belief is we can do the same thing on the issue of immigration.” - Senator

Early Voting is great for democracy.
That’s why 46 other states have the freedom to vote early. Connecticut should be next.
Look for the Early Voting question on your ballot and V✅TE YES!
Bob Stefanowski thinks you “return power” to parents by banning common sense health requirements, dictating curriculum to local schools, and demonizing trans kids by claiming they jeopardize the physical safety of all students.
He’s beyond extreme and wrong for CT kids.
There were zero COVID-related deaths in CT yesterday.
When policy is informed by expert advice, driven by science and data, and people respect each other by wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining distancing, we see results.
Let’s keep it going and stay safe, CT
The President of the United States just stood at the White House podium and accused the American people of cheating in the vote count. He is directly attacking the democratic process.
It is time for Connecticut Republicans to speak up.
Congratulations to
@JahanaHayesCT
, who will be sworn in today as our representative from the 5th CD! Jahana Hayes has inspired all of us this cycle—and we can’t wait to see what she accomplishes for Connecticut families.

Bob Stefanowski ❤️ Trump
Leora Levy ❤️❤️❤️ Trump
Trump stole classified information about nuclear weapons after his attempted coup failed.
Connecticut is not going to put Trump supporters anywhere near elected office.
Flags are at half-staff in CT today.
We remember the 26 children and educators lost at Sandy Hook nine years ago. That horrible day is impossible to forget.
We will never stop working to reduce the threat of devastating gun violence that plagues this nation.
Democrats are just better when it comes to job creation.
Under last three Democratic Presidents (spanning 18 years), we’ve had massive job growth. Biden is smashing jobs records.
Under the last three GOP Presidents (spanning 16 years), the US has had close to 0 net job growth.
Let's be clear: Connecticut does not have in-person early voting because REPUBLICAN senators blocked it. Period.
The Biden campaign posted this graphic. We are the only state with an "N/A."
Historic night in Westport.
After Republicans nominated two extreme candidates, unaffiliated resident Jill Dillon launched a write-in campaign for a Board of Ed seat.
In addition to Democrats winning every seat possible… Dillon also won. GOP is shut out.
🚨 Westport Democrats Sweep!
Huge night for Westport Democrats
@WestportDTC
and congratulations to Jill Dillon on a historic win! Tonight, Westport clearly voted for a positive and collaborative future and against negative National narratives.
One. Vote.
If you live in the 81st & voted for Chris Poulos, take a bow! You flipped a seat from red to blue
@PoulosChris
was Connecticut’s 2007 State Teacher of the Year, and a 2022 Inductee of the National Teachers Hall of Fame. Now, he's a State Rep!
President Biden has served our country with distinction for decades. We thank him profoundly for his service and leadership through some of the most difficult years of our lifetimes. (1/2)
🟢 96% of Americans can vote early
🔴 Connecticut voters are among the 4% who can't
Vote YES on the ballot question to give CT the freedom to vote early.

In addition to all the R to D flips, there are new Democratic Mayors succeeding Democrats who did not seek re-election. Congrats to Arunan Arulampalam (Hartford), Connor Martin (East Hartford), Paul Pernerewski (Waterbury), and Dorinda Borer (West Haven)!
In the CT State Senate, every Democratic Senator was re-elected, and we added 1 seat to our majority.
In the US Senate, every Democratic Senator was re-elected, and we added 1 seat to our majority.
We’re glad the rest of country is following our lead. 😉
"Astroturfing" definition: Organized activity that is intended to create a false impression of a widespread, spontaneously arising, grassroots movement in support of a politician but that is in reality initiated and controlled by a concealed group or organization
Connecticut's own Rosa DeLauro will chair the Appropriations Committee in the next Congress, and we couldn't be more proud. Congratulations

This is what comes after “stand back, and stand by.” Every Republican who failed, over and over and over, to condemn Trump’s embrace of political violence owns this.

Senators Blumenthal and Murphy are leading the fight to get the Senate Republicans to act. We’re so proud of them.
The LAST thing that would help is electing more Republicans. Themis Klarides isn’t part of the solution in Congress. Themis Klarides is part of the problem.
The Biden-Harris administration took medical debt off of credit scores.
Now, the
@GovNedLamont
administration is completely wiping out medical debt for a quarter million CT residents for a penny on the dollar.
Smart. Helpful. Democrats.
