Jennifer Leeper

(HARTFORD, CT) – House Speaker Matt Ritter (D-Hartford) has appointed State Representative Jennifer Leeper (D-Fairfield, Southport) to be Vice Chair of the Human Services Committee.

As we enter into a New Year and prepare for the upcoming session, I've been reflecting on the accomplishments of the last session and want to recap some of the highlights.

Arguably, the greatest achievement of the last session (other than passing a bipartisan budget) was our vote to propose a constitutional amendment that would allow for in-person early voting should voters elect for this change. This referendum will appear on voters' ballots this November.

Happy New Year! I hope that this year brings happiness, health, peace and prosperity to you and your family.

To all who celebrate, Merry Christmas! I'm wishing you all a peaceful, joyous, and healthy holiday.
