Our goals, our team
Our goal is to fight for the state we know Connecticut can be. We love Connecticut. We are raising our families here, we own businesses here and we all choose to call Connecticut home. But Connecticut is also facing many challenges. While the Democrat majority has long taken the approach of increasing taxes and growing the size of government, Senate Republicans are working to change the direction of our state so we can reach our full potential. We believe smaller government and fewer tax burdens will lead to job growth and economic development. We are focused on cutting the wasteful pork barrel spending that has crowded out funding for core needs like education and support for the most vulnerable. Connecticut Democrats have put money and politics before people. Our goal is to put people first. Our goal is to create opportunities for everyone. Our goal is to do everything we can to help Connecticut grow and thrive today, tomorrow and for the next generation.
