Fighting for our values by electing Democrats at the federal, state, and local levels. Paid for by the Connecticut DSCC. Immacula Cann, Treasurer
I joined a coalition of AGs to sue to block Paramount Skydance’s proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. This merger will create a media behemoth capable of controlling the film/tv industry. States are once again filling the antitrust enforcement void left by the Trump DOJ.
In 1776, four men from Connecticut joined 52 others and pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to declare there should be no kings. 250 years later, we wholeheartedly agree.
Trump can’t redefine who is American. Connecticut’s AG William Tong was on the front lines of this fight. A fight we won.
"There is no reason that somebody should go to work full-time in this country and not be able to pay their bills. It is time that everybody who works makes a dignified wage." - Sen. Chris Murphy
Murphy proposes largest federal minimum wage increase in U.S. history
The minimum wage would be raised to $25 an hour under a new bill introduced by U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT).

“Another major defeat for Trump and his desperate illegal attempts to control our elections” - AG William Tong
Days before, and after, the 2024 election, three CT Republicans sent more than $50 grand to a company that didn't exist. In one case, the candidate sent more than half of his entire grant to the mystery company on Election Day. Two of them are on the ballot again. ctnewsjunkie.com/2026/06/23/i...

Trump Superfan Ryan Fazio has a lot in common with the guy he “admires and respects.” They both want to keep housing (and energy) costs sky high. Fazio’s only ideas are essentially shell games, costing you $10 to save $5.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) has issued memo to US Secret Service announcing a probe of "waste, fraud and abuse" in the Trump White House ballroom project Blumenthal asks agency to turn over records on the reported $352 million in Secret Service funds "redirected" to Ballroom

I’m heading to the Senate floor right now to talk about this humiliating deal with Iran and how it is final, total proof of how calamitous this war has been.
Trump’s war is driving up costs, draining billions from taxpayers, and making CT families pay the price. That’s why Connecticut Democrats in the U.S. House voted to end it. Every House Democrat voted yes to pass the bill, introduced by Rep. Jim Himes, over the objections of GOP leadership.
Happy Pride, Connecticut. 🏳️🌈 This month and every month, we proudly stand with LGBTQ+ communities across CT in the fight for equality, dignity, and freedom.
Since 2024, a quarter million CT residents have had medical debt wiped out, adding up to half a BILLION dollars. While Republicans cut food assistance, drive up gas prices, and make life more unaffordable every day, Democrats help cut costs for hard-working families. ctmirror.org/2026/06/02/c...
CT to cancel medical debt for another 97,000 residents

Yesterday, Governor Ned Lamont signed CT's 2027 budget into law. ✅ Property Tax Relief ✅ K-12 Education funding ✅ Universal school breakfast ✅ Early childhood education ✅ Balanced. Again.
From February to May of this year, the Connecticut state legislature convened. With no contributions from Senator Sampson, there were some seriously meaningful pieces of legislation that were passed. Here are some of the worst votes Rob Sampson made this session:
I stand with my friend Mayor Swarnjit Singh in condemning the vile and violent online threats made against him and his family. I thank the Norwich Police and FBI for their swift response.
Sen Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) requests inspector general probe into allegations FBI Director Kash Patel’s "excessive drinking has interfered with his ability to perform his role and, coupled with his broader inattentiveness, had a negative impact on the FBI’s readiness"
The room where it happens is filling up! State convention starting soon…
Ready for our state convention tomorrow! While Republicans deal with chaos and scandal, Connecticut Democrats are organized, energized, and focused on delivering for Connecticut families.
Trump makes everything worse. Remember when diesel went up 9¢ and CT Republicans lost their minds about how much it would cost you, the person who never buys diesel? They're quiet about Trump's War now, and doubling down on volatile, costly fossil fuels forever. ctnewsjunkie.com/2026/05/08/a...
