Newtown Legislators to Hold Pre-Session Discussion
Key Takeaways

NEWTOWN- State Representatives Mitch Bolinsky (R-106) and Martin Foncello (R-107) will be hosting a discussion on the upcoming 2026 legislative session, this coming weekend, including a brief "State of the State" update.
The 2026 legislative session, commonly known as the "budget adjustment session", begins on February 4th. Both Bolinsky and Foncello are members of the budget-writing Appropriations Committee.
Additionally, because some very good legislative ideas often come from the public, the representatives will debut a new "Constituent Wish List exchange", in which constituents will be able to submit written "bill concepts" they'd like to see addressed in Connecticut STATE law. This section may be subject to time constraints.
The Newtown state lawmakers will be hosting the event on Sunday, January 18th from 1:00 PM-3:00 PM at the Newtown Community Center at 8 Simpson Street.
The event is free and open to residents of Newtown. If you are unable to attend but would still like to contact the legislators, you can reach them at 800-842-1423 or email at Mitch.Bolinsky@housegop.ct.gov or Martin.Foncello@housegop.ct.com.
