HARTFORD – Rep. Tammy Nuccio, R-Tolland, was sworn in Wednesday as the representative for the 53th District in the House of Representatives during a ceremony attended by her family members.

Other issues under the committee’s jurisdiction include matters relating to state employees’ salaries, benefits and retirement, teachers’ retirement and veterans’ pensions and collective bargaining agreements and arbitration awards for all state employees.

“Today, we returned to the Capitol for the 2023 legislative session, and it is an honor to represent the residents of the 53rd District. I wanted to also welcome residents of Vernon to the district and let you know that you can reach out to me at any time with questions, comments or concerns regarding state government,” Rep. Nuccio said. “I was honored to be appointed as the Ranking Member of the legislature’s Appropriations Committee by House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora. You can be sure that I and my fellow House Republicans will continue our work to make Connecticut more affordable and safer for all residents. I was proud to be joined by my four daughters, Alexandria, Sarah, Cassidy and Page who were on hand as I took the oath of office.”
