HARTFORD—House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora was honored Wednesday (May 14) with the Legislative Leadership Award from the
Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce (GNHCC).
Candelora, who helps run two family-owned businesses, is a prominent voice at the Capitol on issues that affect both employers and workers. The GNHCC recognized him for his leadership and advocacy, with Chamber President Garrett Sheehan visiting the Capitol to present the award in person. Sheehan, pictured right, was joined by Harry Carey, Director of External Affairs at AT&T—which sponsors the award. During a spring event with GNHCC members, Carey praised Candelora as “a true champion for Connecticut’s future.”
In accepting the award, Candelora said: “The business community is vital to our state’s well-being. It’s critical that my colleagues and I in the legislature not only avoid doing harm, but also actively support efforts that drive growth and create more opportunity and prosperity for Connecticut’s workers and their families.”
