Christopher Rosario

Rep. Rosario was appointed Co-Chair of the 2020 Census Committee.

It was great to join today with colleagues in the House and Senate to talk about our legislative priorities that include Paid Family and Medical Leave, Increasing the Minimum Wage, More Affordable Prescription Drugs, Job Training & Workforce Pipeline, A Green New Deal for Connecticut, Support for Small Businesses and Early Voting.

We are working hard to make it easier to do business in Connecticut.

We are reiterating our commitment to seeing the Barnum high-speed rail station built on the East Side of Bridgeport.

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.

I am happy to announce a court decision to block the Trump Administration from adding a citizenship question to the #2020Census.

State Representative Christopher Rosario has been appointed to serve as Deputy Speaker by Speaker of the House Joe Aresimowicz.

Rosario, who was elected in 2014 to represent the 128^th Assembly District, has quickly risen to leadership roles including most recently, as Chair of the legislature’s Black and Puerto Rican Caucus and Chief Majority Whip.
