Together, the House of Representatives and the Senate constitute the Connecticut General Assembly (CGA). The General Assembly enacts legislation dealing with state appropriations and finance, public welfare, the environment, public works, housing, education, civil and criminal laws, and other matters. The Senate tries all impeachments of executive and judicial branch officials. In Connecticut, members of the state’s legislative body, the General Assembly, must be at least eighteen years old and reside in the district they represent. Senate and House members serve two-year terms. Candidates were asked to respond to questions developed by local Leagues of Women Voters (LWV). Candidates enter their replies directly into Vote411, and replies are not edited by the LWV.This is the link to the CGA website: https://www.cga.ct.gov/To view sample ballots go to this website:- https://portal.ct.gov/sots/election-services/town-ballots/2026-november-town-election-ballots

Connecticut should stay focused on the costs state government can most influence: property taxes, energy, childcare, housing, healthcare, and education. That means maintaining balanced budgets and paying down debt, returning more aid to towns and schools, expanding special-education support, lowering utility costs through more generation, efficiency, and stronger oversight, and building on our historic childcare investments. We also need more housing supply, responsible tax relief, and continued investment in transportation and vibrant communities so people can afford to stay here.
Connecticut’s greatest challenge is making sure people can afford to build a life here, and stay here. Families are squeezed by housing, energy, childcare, healthcare, and education costs, while seniors worry about property taxes and living on fixed incomes. We need to address those pressures without sacrificing the fiscal discipline that has strengthened our state. That means continuing to pay down debt, supporting towns and schools, expanding housing and childcare, lowering energy costs, and investing in the strong communities, infrastructure, and quality of life that make Connecticut a place people want to call home.
