Regrettably, extreme voices - in Congress and here in Connecticut - are stalling progress, or even repealing what we fought so hard to accomplish.
As long as Gov. Lamont and I are in Hartford, we won’t let that happen. But we need your support today to help us in those efforts.
Democrats are working tirelessly to ensure access to basic healthcare, equal economic opportunity, and fair working practices are in place to protect women and families.
But we need your help to ensure we don’t lose ground. Please consider making a contribution today to help us in those efforts.
Thanks, Susan Bysiewicz

Subject: Will you help fight for women and families? Susan,
I need to ask for your support today, and let me explain why. Republicans are stripping women of their fundamental rights and defunding or stalling policies that provide a critical safety net to millions of families here in Connecticut and across the country. We need to show the GOP that they will not move our country backward. Will you make a contribution right now to show that Democrats fight for women and families? |
On abortion rights, access to contraception, implementing paid family leave, expanding the Child Tax Credit, addressing the gender pay gap, and a whole host of other issues, progress is being stalled or rolled back in Congress. But here in Connecticut, Democrats have overcome GOP obstacles to deliver: - Paid Family and Medical Leave provides paid leave for those needing to take time off for their own or a family member’s serious health condition.
-
The Fair Employment Practices Act prohibits discrimination against employees for things like being pregnant or missing work to give birth.
- Connecticut removed onerous regulations or restrictions on abortion clinics, providing families easy access to the care they need.
Connecticut Democrats have fought for women and families for decades and WON despite vicious opposition from Republicans. We are a model for the nation. |
I believe we can take the Connecticut model to Congress. But there is extreme opposition and it’s only getting louder and stronger. We can’t let up now and allow further progress to be undone. I’m working hard in Washington to fight for you, for women, and for families. It’s on all of us to ensure these extreme attacks from the GOP are countered head-on. |
