The average family that heats their home with oil is going to pay $1500 more this winter because of Donald Trump’s insane Iran War. Some people will go cold. Some may die. This isn’t hyperbole. This is the consequence of having a president who just doesn’t care about you.

The momentum is REAL. 🔥 Our candidates’ laser focus on lowering costs is breaking through everywhere, from battleground districts to deep-red territory. Republicans are on defense, Democrats are on offense, and we’re taking this fight straight to them.

On the debate stage tonight, we saw Ryan Fazio try and fail to spin his way out of 5 years of votes undermining CT families. On healthcare, on affordability, on gun safety and the safety of our communities – there is one candidate in this race you can trust, and it isn’t Ryan.

When Trump and MAGA Republicans cut healthcare and food assistance, Gov. Lamont and CT Democrats swiftly created an emergency fund to blunt the impact to CT families. Not only did Ryan Fazio vote no, he’s doubling down - pushing for more cuts to healthcare programs.

Ryan Fazio voted against the creation of the Early Childhood Education Endowment, against another $320 million toward affordable childcare, and then had the nerve to call the whole thing a “slush fund.” For CT parents struggling with childcare, this is more than a campaign issue.

Ryan Fazio called Roe v. Wade “offensive to the rule of law.” And when Connecticut moved to protect reproductive healthcare from out-of-state attacks, Fazio voted against those protections. When it comes to fundamental freedoms, we can’t trust Ryan. It’s that simple.

Ryan Fazio voted against the emergency funding Connecticut used to fill in the gaps caused by Trump’s cuts to SNAP and healthcare. Fazio railed against the $500 million Response Fund, but provided no plan of his own for CT residents who would lose healthcare or pay higher premiums under Trump’s plan

Tonight, Ryan Fazio looked into a camera and claimed he isn't afraid to stand up to the Trump administration. The same Ryan Fazio refused to acknowledge the existence of Trump's War in Iran until 3 weeks ago.

We have been putting in the work all year — talking to voters across CT about everything at stake. Our candidates and volunteers have had a quarter-million conversations with voters, knocking on one door at a time, nearly a million times.

In 2023, Ryan Fazio voted against expanding Connecticut's paid sick-leave requirement to cover nearly all private-sector workers. Another reason Connecticut can't trust Ryan.

"This is horrifying... It's a counterintelligence nightmare and it should never have happened." Rep. @jahimes.bsky.social reacts to ProPublica’s reporting that a Putin-linked Russian oligarch secretly bankrolled hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses for Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding.

AG William Tong has been relentless, defending our state time and time again. Trump tries to take food from kids, strip away citizenship, and drive prices through the roof with illegal tariffs. Inn Connecticut, he hits a firewall, and we say NOT HERE. ctnewsjunkie.com/2026/09/21/t...

Hello. This is your reminder that the Russians secretly paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s private island wedding reception. The entire family is on the take and they believe the American people are suckers who won’t care. We care.

Donald Trump has tried over and over again to seize control of this election, to pick and choose who gets to vote and how we cast our ballots. Tonight, the United States Supreme Court sided with states and gave Trump a big no.

Americans are being scammed out of billions of dollars while Trump is using crypto to turn the presidency into a profit generating machine. The Clarity Act’s weak rules & carveouts would supercharge fraud & undermine law enforcement.

We remember the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives, the families in CT and around the world who were forever changed, and the first responders who ran toward danger to protect others. (1/2)

We remember the extraordinary acts of courage and compassion that followed. Neighbors helping neighbors. Strangers coming together Communities across our country showed what we can accomplish when we look out for one another Today, we honor those we lost & those who continue to carry their memory

Just arrived in Danbury to demand accountability for the dozens of immigrants - many of them here legally - that have been disappeared in recent days. Some ripped from their kids at school bus stops. Keep protesting, but peacefully. ICE is looking to provoke a crisis.

Ryan Fazio is lying to Connecticut. He says Republican insiders, including a current GOP State Rep candidate and a delegate to the GOP Convention, are CT Dems. If he is starting his campaign with a lie this brazen, imagine what else he’s lying about.

The Trump admin must explain what they are doing to support sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln who have been continuously at sea for nearly 7 months. Widespread reports of supply shortages, plumbing issues, deteriorating mental health & more demand immediate attention.
