“I stand with my fellow members of the Conservative Caucus in objecting to yet another extension of the governor’s emergency powers. To date, these extensions have resulted masks for school children and vaccine mandates that have totally taken an individual’s medical choices away from them. This is wrong.

It is time that the legislature is once again recognized as the voice of the people in our state. There is no way I will support an extension to emergency orders.”– State Representative Anne Dauphinais…

I stand with my fellow members of the Connecticut House Republicans in addressing the recent juvenile crime crisis that has been impacting Connecticut. The opportunity to address these issues presented itself to us during our regular session but unfortunately there was no action taken by the majority. With these crimes happening in so many cities and towns across our state, now is the time for action. The plan identifies crime prevention resources that will be made available to all of Connecticut’s…

Statement from State Representative Anne Dauphinais 

Earlier this afternoon, the House and Senate voted in favor of extending Governor Ned Lamont’s emergency powers through September 30, 2021, (just enough time to extend the mask enforcement for school children) the sixth extension since he originally put his orders in place. The continuation of Governor Lamont’s emergency executive powers passed by a vote of 73-56, with a handful of Democrats saying enough is enough. To me this isn’t just about…

“Summer time is in full swing and it feels like we are on the executive order merry-go-round as Governor Lamont is again asking for an extension of emergency powers. This Wednesday, the legislature will be in special session to debate and vote on these extensions and this has to stop! Not one more day does this governor’s executive powers need to be extended.

The voice of the people has been silenced at the State Capitol for long enough and I encourage you all to contact House and Senate Democrats…

A Troubling Week in Connecticut

On Tuesday evening, another car theft left a man dead in New Britain. These stories are becoming more frequent and more troubling as the days goes by. This story is the most tragic to date, but there are many other instances of people having their cars stolen or property defaced.

By now, many of you have seen the story of the Wolcott Senior Center which was ransacked in the early morning hours on Monday by two juveniles. This disgusting behavior is very unfortunate…
