Hilda E. Santiago

I had the great honor to join with colleagues in welcoming and recognizing Chrysalis Center in the House Chamber.

My Meriden colleagues and I held a Meet & Greet Town Hall meeting at Meriden’s Public Library to hear from our constituents on what is important to them and consider their thoughts and ideas as we serve them in the General Assembly.

I was inspired by the thousands of people who came out to the women’s march this weekend in Hartford! However, our work is just beginning. I will be sure to update you when public hearings on important legislation are held at the State Capitol.

Rep. Hilda Santiago, who began serving her third legislative term, has been promoted to Deputy Majority Leader for the 2017 Legislative Session.

Meriden area lawmakers are pleased the General Assembly has approved a deal that Sikorsky Aircraft, which has made its home in Stratford since 1929, will remain here until at least 2032. “This mutually beneficial agreement between the state and a major company like Sikorsky will have a positive economic impact across the state, including Meriden’s suppliers,” Rep. Hilda Santiago (D-Meriden) said. “It is encouraging to see the state working together and finding solutions to create and keep jobs in Connecticut.”

Happy to participate with the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund, the nation’s preeminent Latino leadership organization, colleagues and more than 50 other policymakers from across the country for a two-day institute in Boston, Massachusetts.

I am happy I joined my colleague, Rep. Cathy Abercrombie at the 11th Annual Autism Day at the State Capitol.

Today, I joined my colleagues for a press conference at MidState Medical Center to help raise awareness of Connecticut's Safe Haven law.
