    HARTFORD—Getting the state’s ailing budget back in the black and unemployed Connecticut residents back to work are top priorities for Thomas O’Dea, who was sworn in today as state representative for the 125th General Assembly District covering New Canaan and Wilton.

    O’Dea was among 8 freshman Republican legislators who vowed to serve their districts over a two-year term.

    “People in the towns I represent placed tremendous faith in me on Election Day, and it’s an honor I take seriously,” O’Dea said. “Our state faces significant challenges, but in those hurdles I see opportunity—a chance to restructure state government in a way that will create lasting financial stability.”

    O’Dea was in the House chamber late Wednesday afternoon when Gov. Dan Malloy addressed lawmakers, focusing his remarks on the state’s economic crisis—namely, its estimated almost $2 billion deficit over the next two years and Connecticut’s public safety, after the tragic events in Newtown.
