Hi John,
As the Trump administration ramps up its attacks on working families, federal workers, and essential services, Joe Courtney has continued to stand strong for eastern Connecticut — pushing back against these extreme policies and standing up for our values.
Take a look at what Joe’s been up to lately:
Joe is connecting with voters others can’t reach.
A recent study by Split Ticket found that Joe earned support from 20% of Republican voters and 68% of independents — a rare feat in today’s political climate.
What’s his secret?
✅ Showing up
✅ Listening to voters
✅ Delivering real results
These voters aren’t supporting Joe because they agree with Trump — they’re supporting Joe because they know he gets things done.
From shipbuilding to skills training to lowering healthcare costs, Joe’s record in Eastern Connecticut speaks for itself.
- Electric Boat’s workforce has tripled in recent years thanks to Joe’s advocacy and support for the submarine industrial base.
- Joe always puts his constituents first — connecting students and job seekers with good-paying manufacturing careers.
- And he continues to fight for lower prescription drug costs, improved access to care, and affordable housing for working Connecticut families.
While the Trump administration works to gut Medicaid, slash Social Security, and reward billionaires, Joe is on the front lines fighting back.
Fighting Cuts to Critical Programs
When House Republicans pushed a plan that would slash $1 trillion from Medicaid, eliminate student loan forgiveness, and gut nutrition assistance, Joe called it out for what it is: a direct attack on working families. He voted against the plan and worked to rally opposition from both sides of the aisle.
Protecting Seniors and Social Security
While GOP leaders float plans to raise the retirement age and privatize Social Security, Joe has stood firm:
“These earned benefits are not bargaining chips. Seniors have worked their whole lives for the dignity of retirement, and I will not let this administration take that away.”
Showing Up for the People of Connecticut
Joe isn’t just fighting in the halls of Congress — he’s showing up in our communities. Whether it’s holding town halls, meeting with healthcare providers, or visiting shipbuilders in Groton, Joe listens — and then acts. His grassroots organizing has helped mobilize resistance to Trump’s policies across eastern Connecticut.
Joe understands the stakes — not just for the next election, but for the future of our democracy. That’s why he’s taking on Trump’s extremism head-on, and continuing to deliver real, local results in the face of unprecedented challenges.
Joe Courtney’s success isn’t just about winning elections — it’s about building a better future for eastern Connecticut.
We’ll keep sharing more as we head into a crucial election cycle.
Thanks for standing with us,
Team Courtney |
