Former Danbury City Council member Thomas Saadi was confirmed as Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs Wednesday, February 20.

I joined with colleagues who share my views on issues that I talked about during last fall’s elections.  We met with Governor Lamont to talk about the mandate you gave me this past November: a $15 an hour minimum wage, universal paid family medical leave, the equitable legalization of marijuana, and an economy and society that works for every Connecticut resident.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, State Rep. Bob Godfrey, State Rep. Gregg Haddad, State Sen. Mae Flexer, Common Cause in Connecticut and several other advocacy groups held a press conference to convey support for legislation to enact bills that further protect voting rights.

Today, Democrats in the Connecticut General Assembly announced joint priorities for the 2019 legislative session. The legislative package focuses on establishing a paid family and medical leave program, raising the minimum wage, investing in job training and the state’s workforce pipeline, supporting small businesses, making prescription drugs more affordable, creating a Green New Deal for Connecticut and increasing access to the ballot box.

State Representative Bob Godfrey (D-Danbury) joined Judiciary Committee co-chairs Rep. Steve Stafstrom (D-Bridgeport) and Sen. Gary Winfield (D-New Haven)  along with several legislative colleagues from both parties and activists to announce legislation the committee would take on to reduce gun violence and make Connecticut communities safer.  

For over a month, many federal employees have been reporting to work and performing their duties - without pay.

The government shutdown affects at least 1,500 Connecticut workers and they are struggling to pay their bills while they wait for their paychecks to resume.

The impact on federal employees from the prolonged government shutdown is increasingly affecting the livelihood of over 1,500 Connecticut residents and their families each additional day they work for no pay - child care, mortgages, food and car payments, to name a few, are falling behind and there is no indication for when paychecks will resume.
