John, Connecticut includes some of the wealthiest and poorest people in the United States, all within a short drive of each other — we need action from the federal government to address this, and Congressman Jim Himes is stepping up.
All of us at the CT Democratic Party are so proud that last week, Nancy Pelosi announced Congressman Himes has been chosen to serve as Chairman of a new Select Committee focused on addressing our nation’s worsening economic disparities.
Economic inequality in the United States has grown for decades, and the pandemic has only amplified this crisis. Congressman Himes described addressing this economic disparity as “the challenge of our lifetime,” and pledged to lead this committee toward real solutions — we know Jim will do a great job, and we’re with him all the way.

Alongside other Democratic committee members like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pramila Jayapal, and Marcy Kaptur, Congressman Himes will work to enact policies that ensure every American benefits from our growing economy.
Right now, working class American families are finding it more difficult than ever to pay for basic necessities like housing, education, and healthcare — meanwhile, our nation’s wealthiest people have seen their wealth grow to unprecedented levels, especially over the last year.
As Congressman Himes said, “This growing disparity offends our moral sensibility, destabilizes our democracy, and thwarts our global competitiveness; it is time to act.”
The Connecticut Democratic Party is proud to stand with Congressman Himes in this fight — John, sign your name here to show your support for enacting policies to make our economy more fair for every American:

Thank you for taking action,
Connecticut Democrats
