Democratic policies

in Connecticut boost job growth

Employers in Connecticut added 1,600 jobs in May, bringing the unemployment rate to its lowest level since before the pandemic.

          Large employers continue to invest in CT, attracted by our low tax rates and skilled labor force. Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML announced it will invest $200 million to expand operations in Wilton, a move that is expected to create 1,000 new jobs.

          Closer to home, Charter Communications, the second largest cable operator in the US, cut the ribbon on its new headquarters in Stamford. Since coming to Stamford, Charter has created 1,700 jobs, invested $100 million in its corporate headquarters, and millions in local philanthropic efforts.

Republicans vote against tax cuts...then claim we're overtaxed

CT's Republicans are spreading disinformation, holding rallies about making Connecticut affordable and blaming Democrats. 

But here are the facts: 

• Democrats passed the largest tax reduction in Connecticut’s history: a FY 2023 state budget which Governor Lamont signed into law, and included $600 million in tax cuts,
• But most Republicans voted against it including our three Greenwich Republicans: Senator Fazio, Representative Fiorello, and Representative Arora.

It is concerning that more and more Republican politicians are using flat out disinformation tactics to claim one thing while voting for the opposite, especially on key issues such as gun safety, reproductive freedom, and fairness in state finance and taxation. 

       The budget that was passed was bold, balanced, and positively impacts families across Connecticut.

Democrats support clean energy

Residents flocked to Greenwich’s first Electrify Your Life Expo on June 18, a hands-on event to learn about zero-emission consumer technology such as electric vehicles, e-bikes, scooters and electric landscaping equipment.

        Kids enjoyed trying out hover boards and navigating remote-controlled cars around an obstacle course. Above, State Representative candidate Hector Arzeno with the team from Quiet Yards Greenwich. Read more about the event here.

Taking action against price gouging at the pump

Democratic State Senator Anwar recounts the bill he sponsored that would have strengthened our state’s laws on price gouging by making “unconscionably excessive” fuel pricing unlawful. If passed, it could have reduced the strain we are experiencing now.

      Due to Republican opposition, it did not even receive a committee vote. A similar law was introduced in the U.S. Congress, but did not pass because every Republican voted against it. Read the letter here.
