we have the power to fight back

JOE COURTNEY FOR CONGRESS ​ John, After Trump’s big, ugly bill passed, I went back home. And I listened. All across Connecticut’s 2nd district, we’ve heard heartbreaking stories of families worried about losing their care, teachers outraged at the school cuts, and seniors terri…

This is what we're up against, John

JOE COURTNEY FOR CONGRESS ​ John, I’ve read every page of Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” — which he recently signed into law. And I’ll be blunt — this is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation I’ve ever seen. The numbers speak for themselves: Nearly 16 million at risk …

help us stand up for public education

JOE COURTNEY FOR CONGRESS ​ John, I recently pressed Trump’s Secretary of Education on a simple question: Why are we gutting programs that work? Connecticut’s magnet schools — like Groton’s Marine Science Magnet High — are some of the best in the country. They give working-cla…

help us fight back against the GOP

JOE COURTNEY FOR CONGRESS ​ John, Trump officially signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” — amended by Congress to include even deeper cuts to Medicaid and more handouts to billionaires. Here’s the fallout: Billions of dollars slashed from Medicare and Medicaid 150,000 CT res…

unacceptable

JOE COURTNEY FOR CONGRESS ​ John, Congress just passed a 900-page megabill that will kick millions off their health care, slash SNAP food assistance, and force hospitals across the country to close. All to pay for a permanent tax break for the top 1% AND still blow up the defic…

One big, bad, bill

JOE COURTNEY FOR CONGRESS ​ John – while you were sleeping this week: Senate Republicans worked through the night to salvage the One Big Beautiful Bill Act – and it’s anything but beautiful. It’s a reverse Robin Hood bill that will devastate families in my district and all acros…

We can’t let them win

JOE COURTNEY FOR CONGRESS ​ John, National Republicans are not doing their jobs — they are not fighting for the people they represent. Instead, they’re trying to appease their billionaire funders. That’s not what Joe Courtney is doing in Congress. Joe is fighting hard to ensure …
