During 16 years in the Connecticut General Assembly, George worked on a variety of issues including clean energy, civil rights, and gun safety, where his efforts were nationally recognized by the Brady Campaign and the Million Mom March.
George earned his J.D. from Harvard Law School, his Master’s Degree in Public Policy from the Kennedy School of Government, and his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College.
