Statement From CTGOP Chair Sue Hatfield On The Conclusion Of The 2021 Legislative Session 
 
June 21, 2021
 
While Connecticut businesses opened their doors at the behest of Governor Ned Lamont, Democrat leaders in Hartford arrogantly opted to keep the public out of the “People’s House.”  With the citizens locked out, progressives pushed through a long list of radical measures that will make our state less attractive and affordable to employers and taxpayers.  
 
Fortunately, Republican lawmakers successfully pushed back on the Democrats’ most egregious tax-and spend impulses.  Republican opposition was critical in holding the line on income tax increases, and in stopping the Transportation Climate Initiative, which would have raised the price and limited the availability of fuel for Connecticut motorists.
 
Republican legislators stood UNITED to stop the mileage tax, to keep tolls off our highways, and to maintain local control of zoning and education.
 
Now it is time for Republicans to REGISTER, RECRUIT and TRAIN new candidates and volunteers for the rapidly-approaching 2022 Election.
I call on Connecticut residents who see the need for a new direction to help Republicans win the battle for the soul and the future of our Constitution State.
 
With the right candidates and the help of our dedicated grassroots supporters, we can put Connecticut back on track.
 
Please make your investment to help Republicans Grow Our Party in 2021 and beyond.
 
Your action now will be forever remembered as we Save Our State.
 
Sue Hatfield, Chair
Connecticut Republican Party
