The Connecticut Education Association (CEA), the state's largest group of public school teachers, has a "Report Card" system that evaluates legislators’ voting records, advocacy, and efforts to advance the organization's priorities over the two-year legislative cycle, including preserving collective bargaining, protecting pensions and supporting policies that enhance public education.

I want to wish you a fun and safe Independence Day.

The New Haven Health Department's Third Annual Momma's Love Community Day, a health fair for the whole family, will be held on Saturday, July 13th, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., at Goffe Street Park.

Governor Lamont has established a working group of members representing various political affiliations and has tasked them with exploring options and developing a comprehensive legislative proposal to create a system that enables municipalities and political parties in Connecticut with the ability to use ranked-choice voting in caucuses, conventions, primaries, and certain municipal elections.
