As we welcome the rain and the start of Fall, I wanted to let you know about an upcoming event this week and share information about last week’s Government Administration and Elections Committee meeting.
Please join me this Thursday in a virtual discussion about how we can work towards ending political polarization! An organization called Braver Angels, together with CT Public and the Governor M. Jodi Rell Center for Public Service at the University of Hartford, have come together to facilitate this week’s conversation.
On Thursday, September 8 from 7:30PM - 9:00PM, I will join Representative Stephen Harding to discuss what life experiences have influenced our policy views, how polarization has impacted government, and what can be done to address it. Register by clicking the button below.
The Braver Angels Goals for our Discussion:
- Improve understanding of the experiences values and beliefs of members of the other political party
- Discover areas of commonality and differences
- Discuss current challenges in state politics
- Explore ideas for reducing polarization
