Rep. John Larson

Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and Donald Trump called it a scam. Make no mistake - they want to slash & privatize Americans' benefits. My resolution compels them to provide answers, but Republicans are trying to stop it from even coming to a vote in the House.

The new housing law we passed in Congress will help communities build more homes and put homeownership in reach for more families. @ChrisMurphyCT and I met with Manchester leaders today to discuss this law and how to lower costs — like my bill to create a tax credit for renters.

Trump's termination of protections for 350,000 Haitians in the United States is an outrage. They're targeting families who fled gang violence and ripping caregivers out of nursing homes. We passed a bill in the House to extend TPS. The Senate must act. ctpost.com/connecticut/ar…

I enjoyed stopping by @AccessHealthCT’s men’s health wellness fair in Hartford last weekend. It’s always great to see Jendayi Scott and the @angelofedgewood team, who work tirelessly every day to combat food insecurity, support families, and address homelessness in our community.

As more of our troops are killed in Iran, and gas prices continue to skyrocket, Congress can't sit on its hands. We've voted to end this costly conflict twice. It's time to enforce the law. My bill will cut off all funding for Trump's illegal Iran war NOW! commondreams.org/news/john-lars…

Flooding has plagued the Plantsville neighborhood for decades. I worked with @ChrisMurphyCT and @SenBlumenthal to secure $300,000 in federal funding for Southington to advance real solutions that will better protect homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure from floods.

It was great to visit the Bishops Corner Senior Center in West Hartford. Social Security is under threat from Trump and the billionaires pushing to privatize the program.

Together, we’ll stop their scheme and enhance your benefits by making the wealthy pay their fair share!

We recently broke ground on more homes at Willow Creek. Backed by $14 million in federal tax credits, the project's next phase will mean 56 new units for Hartford residents. I'll continue to deliver funding and incentives that expand housing opportunities! courant.com/2026/07/28/ct-…

Medicare was signed into law 61 years ago today. Trump's 'Big, Ugly Bill' triggered a $500 BILLION cut to Medicare, risking the healthcare seniors rely on. I stood with @CSEA_CT and @ActiveRetirees in Hartford to celebrate this milestone and rally to reverse these dangerous cuts!

Trump is sending ICE agents to our airports, collecting your flight data and snatching residents out of security lines at Bradley. They are accountable to nobody. I’m fighting to get this secret police force out of our airports and out of our state! connecticut.news12.com/2026/07/25/ct-…

Connecticut Alliance members joined @RepJohnLarson to mark Medicare and Medicaid's 61st anniversary and remind everyone that we must protect the health care millions of Americans rely on.

As Trump wages an illegal war in Iran, gas prices are soaring here at home. The national average just hit $4/gallon! Suspending the gas tax would bring some relief at the pump now. The President claims to support it, but Republicans won't hold a vote.
 Let's get it done!

Democrats capped prescription drug costs for seniors and empowered Medicare to directly negotiate prices.   Trump triggered the largest-ever cut to Medicare, and now he's forcing a premium hike for millions of seniors.   We need to expand these savings for everyone, not end them!

Trump officials are trying to end protections for LGBTQ+ tenants in public housing. They want to let shelters lock out transgender Americans and deny assistance to residents because of who they are. That discrimination must not stand. We're demanding an end to this cruel rule!

After Connecticut farmers suffered heavy crop losses from severe flooding, I worked with our delegation to secure $53 million in disaster aid. We joined with local growers and state leaders to announce that the relief our farmers are owed is on the way! ctnewsjunkie.com/2026/07/24/ct-…

Last week, we broke ground on 70 new, affordable housing units for seniors in Berlin, supported with $9 million in federal incentives.   We need to do more. Our American Affordability Act will help build 500,000 new homes and lower costs for renters & first-time homebuyers alike.

Trump officials are arming ICE agents with your flight data—so they can snatch residents out of security lines at airports. They have no right to access your personal information. I’m working to end their covert data sharing and abolish this secret police!visaverge.com/news/ice-perso…

As more of our troops are killed in Iran, and gas prices continue to skyrocket at home, Congress cannot sit on its hands.   I introduced a bill to immediately defund this illegal war, and block Donald Trump or any future president from waging war without Congressional approval.

ICE has been transformed into Donald Trump's personal army, accountable to no one. Mothers are being torn from their children, and kids are being locked away and traumatized at prisons like Dilley. They've been fed moldy food and denied medical care. #ShutDownDilley NOW.

It was great to be with Mayor Connor Martin last weekend to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the new Pollinator Garden at DePietro Park. More than 1,000 volunteer hours went into creating these gardens across East Hartford, supporting local wildlife and vibrant habitats!

Republicans couldn't ban medication abortion in court. Now they're pushing Trump to cut off access with an executive order and pressuring states to bring criminal charges against providers. Mifepristone is safe & effective. We must defend reproductive freedom from these attacks!
