CT Senate Republicans @CTSenateGOP

A driver's moment of impatience is never worth risking a child's life. That's why Sen. Gordon introduced legislation that creates stronger consequences for motorists who repeatedly fail to stop for school buses. Today, he proudly celebrated its unanimous passage alongside Coventry Public Schools Superintendent David Petrone, DATTCO, Inc President Donald DeVivo, Coventry, CT Police Department Chief Eric Peterson, and Coventry Board of Education Chair Jennifer Beausoleil. Thank you to the educators, transportation professionals, law enforcement officers, and advocates who helped make this important public safety measure a reality. Together, we're making Connecticut's roads safer for our students. 🚍⚠️

When Democrats hold a supermajority, they often push through whatever is on their agenda without a real conversation. CT Senate Republicans spent hours on the floor this session because our constituents deserve to be heard. We fought for lower electric rates, affordability, parental and educational rights and the freedoms that Connecticut residents depend on. Free speech is our First Amendment right, and we will continue to exercise it. 🔗courant.com/2026/06/01/ct-…

Connecticut already pays some of the highest electric rates in the country, and it’s about to get worse. A recent CT Insider article reports that your electric bill could climb more than 13% in 2027, and the real cost may be even higher. This is what happens when CT Democrats refuse to take real action on lowering our state’s cost-of-living. CT Senate Republicans offered legislation to eliminate Public Benefits Charges during the legislative session, and every Democrat voted against it. We will continue to push to lower electric rates and to remove Public Benefits Charges from your electric bill! ctinsider.com/news/article/e…

Some people look at legislative debate and see delay. I see representation. Watch below as I set the record straight. Read the article here: ctmirror.org/2026/05/28/whi…

CT students deserve better than continued failed leadership and scandals in the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) education system!

Gov. Lamont just signed into law a controversial bill that strips away parental and educational rights for homeschool, private school, and parochial school families. Thousands of you submitted testimony, showed up at public hearings, and made the trip to Hartford to fight for your rights. You were heard by Republicans. You were silenced and ignored by Democrats. CT Democrats pushed through their agenda of government overreach anyway. CT Republicans will keep standing with you and fighting every day for your right to choose the best education for your children.

🔌With an 11% electric rate hike proposal before state regulators, Gov. Lamont offered a solution to high energy costs…“Turn off the lights.” Decades of failed Democrat leadership and bad policies got us here. “Turning off the lights” won’t get us out. CT Senate Republicans have a plan to lower electricity costs and eliminate Public Benefits Charges. We will never stop fighting for the people of our state.

The rainy weather this Memorial Day Weekend didn’t stop our Republican senators from joining their communities in paying tribute to the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Today, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend the freedoms we hold dear. Their memory of our fallen heroes will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

This morning, Sen. Harding joined host Gary Byron on The Talk of Connecticut to discuss a proposed 11% electricity rate hike from one of Connecticut’s largest utility companies. The hardworking people in our state are already stretched thin. They shouldn’t have to worry about keeping the lights on. During the 2026 Legislative Session, Senate Republicans put forward a proposal to eliminate Public Benefits Charges from your electric bill and lower electricity rates, but it was voted down on party lines. Connecticut residents deserve better. Listen to the interview to hear more.

🔌💡Just a few weeks ago, CT Democrats voted NO on saving you hundreds on your electric bill. Now rates could jump 11%. Connecticut ratepayers deserve better!

Connecticut is unaffordable, electric bills are too high, and the cost of living keeps climbing. During the 2026 legislative session, Senate Republicans fought back – pushing for real affordability, an end to Public Benefits Charges, lower electricity rates, and a government that answers to the people it serves.   Watch the 2026 session recap and learn more about the work our senators did to help create a brighter future for all in our state. The work isn’t over, and we will continue fighting for you!

CT Democrats voted NO to lowering your electric bills, NO to eliminating Public Benefits Charges, and NO to making Connecticut more affordable. Their failed leadership keeps driving costs up for Connecticut residents. Senate Republicans will never stop fighting to eliminate these charges and make Connecticut affordable for everyone.

For months, CT Senate Republicans have been calling on Governor Lamont to provide relief for Connecticut’s local dairy farmers, and today was a first step in the right direction. Only about 80 dairy farms are remaining in Connecticut, and they are facing a real sustainability crisis. These are hardworking, blue-collar, family-owned operations run by people who want nothing more than to provide food for our state and our country. But unaffordable Connecticut policies have made it harder and harder to do so. Fewer farms means less local food, and once those farms are gone, they are gone for good. We appreciate that the Governor listened to our senators and has announced some relief for dairy farmers. But there is much more to be done to make Connecticut more affordable for all our farmers and job creators, and we will not stop until that work is finished.
