EOY is coming up fast

Hi John,   It’s Roberto Alves, chair of your CT Dems, and as we close out the year, I’ve been thinking a lot about what’s ahead.  With so much uncertainty at the national level and the political landscape shifting fast, Connecticut has the opportunity to show the country what democratic leadership l…

Honoring the unsung heroes

The people who make the work possibleJohn,  Campaigns get summarized by headlines and margins. But when you look closely at how progress actually happens, the story is far more personal. Some of the most consequential work in our party is done by people who simply see a need and step in to help. Tha…

We’re coming up on our year end deadline…

John,  Across the country, the stakes are rising. Families are facing higher costs, misinformation is spreading faster than the truth, and manufactured crises are creating uncertainty for millions of people. In moments like this, states with strong leadership, like Connecticut, become essential. We’…

AG Tong elected NAAG President

by unanimous voteJohn,  We wanted to share a message that came in from Washington just moments after the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) unanimously elected our own Attorney General William Tong as its next President. Few people understand the impact of this role better than someone…

Trump, or Connecticut values.

Dear John,  This past November, we flipped 29 towns from red to blue and proved that when Democrats show up, tell the truth, and stand up for Connecticut families, voters take action.  But the next fight is already inside the messy Republican primary for governor.  Last week, I wrote an op-ed about …

Grateful for you

John,  This time of year always reminds us what’s possible when we come together with purpose.   We saw it during the elections earlier this month. Across Connecticut, volunteers gave up evenings to knock on doors or make phone calls, and voters responded, standing up for fairness, community, and pr…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Honoring our Veterans

Dear John, Connecticut has a long and proud tradition of showing up for those who served in our military. In 1864, while the war between the North and South still raged, wounded and disabled soldiers returned home unable to work. And while the federal government had national homes, the need was ove…

Who says you can't win em all?!?

And you made it happenJohn, We challenged you to hold the line and keep CT blue this election cycle. You didn’t just do that, you moved the line altogether. Before Election Day, Democrats led 73 of Connecticut’s 169 cities and towns. Because of you, that number is now 102. Flipping 29 towns isn’t ju…

Let’s win this thing

Hi John,  Tuesday is Election Day, and the future of our towns is on the line.  Municipal elections don’t grab national headlines, but they matter most for our daily lives. This is our chance to elect Democrats who will deliver for Connecticut families, but we can’t do it without you.  Can you chip …

MAGA’s tricks are no treat...

Happy Halloween, John! We love a good scare. Haunted houses, spooky movies, even the occasional jump scare? We’re here for it.   But the tricks we’re seeing from MAGA Republicans? That’s no treat. They’ve brought bad ideas back from the dead more times than Michael Myers, but unlike the Halloween f…

The GOP is playing games with your health care

but CT Democrats aren’t backing downDear John,  It’s day 17 of the Republican shutdown, and I have to tell you, the consequences of this one are truly stark. If Republicans continue to refuse to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, premiums could more than double for people buying insurance on the …

CT schools can’t afford this
