CT Senate Democrats

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the heroes who gave their lives defending our freedoms. We owe them and their families a debt of gratitude that can never truly be repaid. May we always honor their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Sen. Marx was honored to join Gov. Lamont, Commissioner Dykes, Commissioner Hurlburt, and Mayor Passero at Fort Trumbull State Park to officially kick off Connecticut’s state park season!

A father at a school bus stop in Bridgeport was arrested by ICE. Senator Gaston says: “No child should ever have to watch their father be taken away. Moments like these leave deep emotional scars, not just on families, but on entire communities.”

Summer means fewer blood donations but the need doesn’t slow down. The Connecticut Blood Center says donations drop during vacation season. Type O blood is especially needed right now! If you can, consider donating at a local blood drive.

I’m excited!! This weekend marks the unofficial start of summer! ☀️Hopefully the rain stays away…..

This session, we led passage of legislation restricting access to Connecticut Flock camera data. This is why it is necessary >>> Map shows how far Connecticut’s license plate camera data traveled ctinsider.com/connecticut/ar… via @insider_ct
