By the power invested in me as the Comptroller of Connecticut, I hereby proclaim you forgiven.

Happy Birthday, America! Let us never stop working to perfect this experiment and defend the ideals that this great country was founded upon 250 years ago today.

USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I became a Democrat because our party has always championed bold ideas to tackle the biggest challenges in our history. Connecticut needs us to think big, to dream about what’s possible, and fight for a better future for our kids and grandkids.

We need a public option.

Calling out hateful and dumb speech by your own party doesn’t mean you lack character - it means you *have* character. And Vin Candelora has a lot of it. Good for him. And good for us that we still live in a state where unlike DC politics doesn’t need to be a zero sum game 24/7.

This moment that we’re living in is different. Let’s meet it.

Honored and excited to be nominated for another term. Thank you @CTDems!

@CTIronman I genuinely don’t know what this group or the mayors/fs group I put together last year will come up with And I can’t speak to what happened when I was 4 What I can tell you is that my goal is to try to find consensus on how to finance muni govt more sustainably than we do today

@SeanScanlonCT So explain why this time will be ANY different???

When @SeanScanlonCT explains first why the Weicker/CTDem agenda proved to be an utter disaster in preventing property tax hikes then maybe he’d have a veneer of credibility in proposing a new fix (He won’t because he needs the CEA endorsement)

HUSKIES! Wow.

Shout out to Netflix for making opening day special and ensuring that the picture quality of this game is somehow worse than AOL dial up internet in 1999.

Towards the end, I hated smoking but I frankly didn’t think I could ever quit. So if you're still smoking and want to quit but worry you can't, just know that you can… and it’s worth it.

Nine years ago, I quit smoking. It’s one of the hardest things I've done in my life, and I did it way later than I should have, especially since it's what my dad died of. But as the anniversary came and went this weekend, I was thinking about how glad I am every day that I did.

@jmart Just putting this out there: I'm not tanned, but I'm rested and ready for the New Haven pizza tour episode.

youtube.com/playlist?list=… FOLKS… The texts, emails and calls come regularly. At least once a week. Sometimes more. “Jmart, I’m going to [fill-in-the-blank city], where should I eat?” friends, colleagues and sometimes folks I barely know at all will ask. Often, the question in reference is about New Orleans, America’s greatest city and the town my wife, Betsy, and I call home. But just as frequently, it’s about somewhere else, where there’s a conference or wedding or news event. I’ve yet to meet the person who doesn’t want to find a good meal on the road. Which is why this week I’m starting “On the Road with Jonathan Martin.” After over 20 years of covering politics and visiting all 50 states along the way, I’ve eaten a lot of meals with politicians and those around them. Now I want to take you with me, have you watch and listen as I sit down and (quite literally) break bread at local joints with Democrats and Republicans alike. My vision: Anthony Bourdain meets “Lunch with the FT” meets the Almanac of American Politics. We’ll talk food, politics and place, delving into yesterday and tomorrow. It’s the great question at the heart of every political story, and it couldn’t be more relevant in America’s 250th year: How did we get here, and where are we going? We begin at Wright’s BBQ in Little Rock, Arkansas, where I had the ribs (great rub), brisket and mac and cheese last week with Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. More on that below. I’m headed to California next, where I’ll dip into some Dungeness crab with California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Thank you ⁦@SeanScanlonCT⁩ for your testimony supporting HB 5046 and for supporting police officers and firefighters! #publicsafety

USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Connecticut, I'm running for reelection. I'm proud of what I've gotten done as your Comptroller, and I want to keep working to solve tough problems and make our state a better, more affordable place to live. If you're with me, let's do this: seanforct.com

Honestly, if we can’t objectively agree that under-trained masked agents shouldn’t be policing American streets and sowing needless tension with zero accountability to local laws & law enforcement, then we are entering really dangerous territory as a country.

Been waiting for this one. Awesome to see this program getting the national love they deserve. Thank you, @MikeGrinnell_!
