This was an incredible amount of work and it was born of love and joy and anger at this inability to move forward. We all know that a better Connecticut is possible. Thank you. Onwards and upwards.

Let's hold Governor Lamont accountable, but let's also make sure that we beat Ryan Fazio this November, because ultimately we all share a vision for a better future.

This campaign was not and is not just about me. Hard fights are hard, but they're not impossible. What I want the people of Connecticut to understand is we have to be fighting for more. We're one of the wealthiest states in our country and people are suffering. We can do better.

I started this campaign to change the problems that our leaders aren’t addressing. That's why thousands of people joined our movement, because they know that we can do something better. The power of the status quo is strong, but we can and we must collectively fight through this.

We see the residents of this great state struggling and we act as if there's nothing that we can do. When we have the second highest utility rates in the country, and are the second highest most reliant state on the property tax, we have to act. These things don't fix themselves.

This was a hard fight, but this journey has made clear that the hard fights are always worth fighting.

That agenda has to be backed by deep investment, a forward looking vision, and a governor willing to fight for it.

Connecticut should be a place where our seniors can afford to stay in their homes, where public policy supports multi-generational access to housing, and where we have a strong social safety net so that everyone is protected, no matter what stage of life they are at.

“This cruel federal action is another in the long line of tactics in the administration's racist and ignorant playbook. These are kids who grew up here, went to our public schools, and want the opportunity to pursue higher education in the state they call home.

It’s time to rein in utility excess, give towns real options, and build an energy system rooted in renewables, resilience, and fairness.

Connecticut families pay some of the highest energy costs in the country while the CEO of Eversource earns more than $19 million a year — over 100 times what a frontline lineman makes.
