Representative Ryan worked hard for Montville, Norwich, Bozrah, and Ledyard for over 30 years. He was a model legislator and fearless advocate.
He will be sorely missed.

Time for a motion to vacate the Speaker position!
Rep. Khanna: The Speaker looked frazzled. I think he has just totally lost it. He's attacking the bill, and he's not showing up to hear survivors. Then he's voting for a bill he criticized. He tells Thune, 'go amend it' and Thune ignores him. He's lost the confidence of half the people in his caucus

Since 2024, at least one member of the Conservative Caucus (Steve Weir, R-55) has claimed that "the number of housing units we are short in CT" and "the number of illegals in CT" is the same, without providing any evidence of a link between the two.
Any excuse to support the MAGA agenda.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

This is precisely why the Conservative Caucus in CT's legislature puts in a bill for this almost every year.
The issue with “voter ID” isn’t the ID. It’s which IDs are allowed and who gets blocked. Gun licenses count but student IDs don’t. Tribal IDs don’t. Millions of eligible voters, seniors, students, low-income workers, get shut out. If it were about security, every gov-issued ID would count.

This year's Municipal election results - especially in eastern CT - means it's very unlikely the GOP will put the Second CD on its "Target List".
Without the aid that being on the list brings in, Mike France will (once again) have a very uphill climb next year.

France referred to J6 as "the rally" and had nothing to say about what happened in Minnesota.
He's going to have to be more consistent on this topic before anyone takes him seriously.
He could've just called for calm and civility instead of saying any part of this. Do better, MAGA Mike.
