To find out where the people of Stonington, North Stonington and Ledyard stand on the major state issues being debated in the General Assembly, I have composed several survey questions for constituents in the district.

PAWCATUCK- State Representative Greg Howard (R-43) visited at West Vine Street School on Thursday morning to celebrate their Guest Reader Day.

The school designated this week as Reading Week to teach children the importance and joy of reading.

HARTFORD—In advance of a series of Judiciary Committee public hearings next week, State Rep. Greg Howard (R-43) along with House and Senate Republicans on Wednesday outlined proposals aimed at making Connecticut safer while urging Democrats to veer from their lopsided approach to public safety that does little to deter crime.

“We also hear every day from constituents that are concerned for the growing number of juvenile offenses and more notably, the increasingly dangerous offenses that our youth…

2023 Republican Proposals on Public Safety

Domestic Violence
Time and time again, Connecticut wakes up to horrific headlines in which victims of domestic violence are repeatedly terrorized and, often, killed by a family member or intimate partner. We propose increasing the penalty on murders committed during an act of domestic violence to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Further, we propose enhancing protections for the surviving victims, including an expansion of GPS monitoring of…

Statement from State Rep. Greg Howard, Ranking Member on the Public Safety & Security on legislation to replace School Resource Officers 

“As I’ve always said, what works in our corner of the state, may not work in others; likewise, what doesn’t work there, may work here.  Today, I am deeply disappointed to see my Stonington legislative colleague participate in a press conference that discourages police interaction with children, specifically in our schools.  One only must-read Senate Bill 119 and…

HARTFORD—On a day when the House of Representatives will vote on pay raises for Connecticut State Police, House Republicans insist the legislature must do more to help retain police officers statewide and recruit more women and men into the field of law enforcement.

 “Today’s contract is a step toward growing a state police force suffering from declining numbers over the last several years—but it’s only a first step,” said House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora (R-86.) “The job that follows today’s…

Public Invited to Public Information Meetings for Eastern Connecticut Corridor Rail and Transit Feasibility Study

The public is invited to attend a series of in-person and virtual public information meetings for the Eastern Connecticut Corridor Rail and Transit Feasibility Study conducted by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT).

The public information meetings are being held to introduce the study and provide the public and local community the opportunity to offer comments and ask…

“They can continue to act like the 2020 Police Accountability bill doesn’t haunt the morale of officers, but I talk to officers every day and it continues to weigh heavy on their minds. The legislative democrats fostered a complete distrust of law enforcement across Connecticut and specifically in urban and high crime areas. It should come as no surprise that victims are fearful to report crime, especially crimes as sensitive as rapes.

In addition, the Commissioner failed to note that the significant…

Howard Votes for Low-Income Heating Assistance

Disappointed Plan Doesn’t Help More Families

STONINGTON- State Rep. Greg Howard (R-43) voted in favor of the new Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) allocation plan which anticipates $79 million in federal funds in the Appropriations Committee on Monday.
