HARTFORD – Last week the Legislature’s Conservative Caucus sent a letter to Connecticut Attorney General William Tong requesting that he protect the constitutional rights of their constituents and every parent in Connecticut, and that he reject the federal government’s attempts to stifle Connecticut parents’ protected free speech.
Reacting to Associated Press reports that United States Attorney General Merrick Garland intends to “hold strategy sessions in the next 30 days with law enforcement to…

I stand with my fellow House Republican members in calling for a special session to address the juvenile crime wave that is taking place in Connecticut.
Over the last several months, we have seen an increase in car thefts and other offenses by juveniles with very little accountability. From a senior center being vandalized to an innocent person being killed after a car theft, you don’t need to have all the years I had in law enforcement to tell you that something has to be done.
This cannot wait…

Earlier today, I joined 55 of my colleagues in voting against an additional extension of the Governor’s emergency powers. Unfortunately, we fell short of blocking what is now a sixth extension. Connecticut now joins Rhode Island as being the only two states in New England which still have emergency COVID-19 emergency orders in effect. Not to mention that New York and New Jersey, two states that were working closely…

I will be enthusiastically joining my fellow Conservative Caucus members in voting NO on the extension of the governor’s executive orders this Wednesday in special session.
HARTFORD – The Connecticut General Assembly (CGA) Conservative Caucus today denounced Governor Lamont’s latest attempt to extend his Emergency Authority and urged their colleagues to reject the move, calling it misguided and an abuse of the federal system designed to help states combat the spread of Covid-19.

As a former police chief and your state representative, I am becoming even more concerned about the increase of youth-related crimes that we are seeing in Connecticut. In New Britain yesterday, the end result of a carjacking was an innocent man dead after he was struck while out jogging.
Republicans proposed legislation in committee that either failed or were never raised. We offered an amendment on the House floor to help further protect public safety along with people’s property and their lives.…
