After fighting for years to increase Connecticut's minimum hourly wage, Representative Robyn Porter and her supporters watch Governor Ned Lamont sign her legislation into law in a ceremony at the State Capitol.

We’ve been fighting for years to get the legislature to increase Connecticut’s hourly minimum wage and now we’re only one vote away from giving our workers a long-overdue pay raise. Today, after a 15-hour debate that began last night, the House of Representatives voted to approve legislation I introduced that raises the current $10.10 minimum wage over four and a half years to $15 an hour by June 1, 2023.

I wanted to write a quick thank you to those of you who joined me yesterday morning at Fussy Coffee. We had great discussion around Connecticut's economy, paid family and medical leave, regulating marijuana, and other issues.

I am so thankful that my constituents are involved and informed. Democracy would not work without you!
