<p>For decades, our leaders have failed to stand up to the bullies taking advantage of working families. <strong>Connecticut deserves meaningful change, not just election year rhetoric.  </strong>Josh is driven by mission, not power.</p>

Josh's Record

<p>Every single Connecticut resident, no matter their zip code or economic status, deserves access to affordable healthcare. Greedy health insurance companies take advantage of people with a broken system, and the federal option that so many rely on is also at risk.</p>

<h4>Elliott Statement on 61st Anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid</h4>

<p>Connecticut is among the best states in the nation for public education, but the worst in racial equality in education. Wealth-based disparities in school funding persist. We must do everything in our power to ensure every child in every zip code has a fair shot.</p>

<h2>Fully Fund Our Schools</h2>

<p>My heart breaks for the communities that are grieving. We all deserve to live free from fear and the out-of-control escalation in violence that these agents instill.</p>

<h4>Elliott Responds to Escalating ICE Violence and Murders in Texas, Maine</h4>

<p>Housing costs are outpacing income. Connecticut faces a shortage of affordable homes, while tenants lack basic protections.</p>

<h2>A Place for Everyone to Call Home</h2>

<p><strong>Abortion is healthcare.</strong> Connecticut should be expanding reproductive freedom right now, especially with Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans in Washington threatening blue states.</p>

<h2>Protecting Abortion and Expand Reproductive Freedom</h2>

<p>The union, representing faculty and staff from Connecticut’s 12 community colleges, is the first to endorse Elliott as momentum builds for his primary campaign.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Community College Educators Union, SEIU Local 1973, Endorses Josh Elliott for Connecticut Governor</h4>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Unions are the single most effective institution we have ever built. </strong></span></p><p>They ensure that the gains of a growing economy are shared by the people who built it, not concentrated at the top. They are how we build and maintain a thriving middle class. We have to do more than say we stand with labor. We have to actively fight for its advancement and back that commitment with real protections and policies.</p>

<h4>Willimantic Meet & Greet</h4>

Willimantic Meet & Greet

<p>Connecticut’s tax code is regressive. Working- and middle-class families pay more proportionally than the ultra-wealthy. Public services are underfunded, and municipalities rely too heavily on local property taxes.</p>

<p>State Rep. and Democratic Caucus Co-Chair Josh Elliott appeared at a gubernatorial candidate <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Eg5mdWqoH/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">forum</a> hosted by FaithActs for Education in Bridgeport on Tuesday evening.</p>

<h4>RECAP: Elliott Shares Vision for Equitable Education, Affordable State at FaithActs Forum</h4>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">State Rep. Josh Elliott, the progressive Democrat challenging Ned Lamont for Governor, condemned the Trump Administration’s recent attacks on Connecticut communities. In the past week, the state has seen a student detained by ICE, the city of New Haven sued over its immigrant protections, and an uptick in ICE’s presence in Norwalk. All signs that Trump is targeting Connecticut again.</span></p>

<h4>Elliott Responds to Trump Attacks on Connecticut</h4>

<h4>Woodstock Meet &amp; Greet</h4>

Woodstock Meet & Greet

<p><strong>Connecticut is currently on course to let down its immigrant community by not responding with the seriousness this moment requires.</strong> Trump’s cuts to Medicaid put their access to affordable healthcare at serious risk. Immigrants are our neighbors, our coworkers, our family members–and Governor Lamont is not taking their healthcare and safety seriously.</p>

<h2>Protecting our Immigrant Communities</h2>

<p><strong>Health insurance as an industry should not exist.</strong></p><p>Connecticut is the insurance capital of the world. To take on this industry, we need a Governor with the political courage to do so. For too long we have had one who is not willing to take on tough fights. It’s time to change that.</p>

<h2>Delivering Universal Healthcare</h2>

<p>The Connecticut High School Democrats, the official high school affiliate of the Democratic Party, has endorsed State Rep. Josh Elliott, the House Democratic Co-Chair and progressive leader running to be Connecticut’s next governor.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>CT High School Dems Endorse Elliott for Governor</h4>

<p>Connecticut's rail network was allowed to decay, and we have underinvested in our bus system where it is often unreliable for aspiring commuters. <strong>We should not be running public transit like a business that has to turn a profit.</strong></p>

<h4>Middletown House Party</h4>

Middletown House Party

<p>Connecticut’s labor force has shrunk by nearly 47,000 people in a single year while employers advertise more than 80,000 open jobs –the clearest indicator that our problem is a lack of people who can afford to live here. Our unemployment rate is approximately 5.2%, higher than the national average.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Promoting Economic Development</h2>

<p><strong>Connecticut has long been a leader in advancing equality, but leadership requires constant vigilance. </strong>At a time when LGBTQ+ people, especially the transgender community, face unprecedented attacks across the country, our state must not only defend progress but advance it.</p>

<h2>Standing by the LGBTQ+ Community</h2>

<p><strong>Our state must take a holistic approach to public health.</strong></p><p>Just working on the insurance crisis is not enough. At a time when we have an HHS Secretary federally who is explicitly anti-fact and anti-science, and Congress has clawed back scientific research and public health investments, it is the responsibility of our state leaders to step in and not just fill in the gaps, but to take the lead. Because the pre-Trump status quo was still broken.</p>

<h2>Creating a Healthy Connecticut</h2>

<p>Today, State Rep. Josh Elliott held a press conference with members of the New Haven Federation of Teachers (NHFT Local 933) to rally their support for his campaign for Governor.</p>

<h4>Second Major Education Union Endorses Josh Elliott for Governor</h4>

<p>Elliott’s fundraising broke the all-time record for the Citizens’ Election Program, with $371,102 raised from a total of 5,877 donations, at a maximum of $340 per person.</p>

<h4>Elliott Unlocks $3.7 Million for CT Gov. Campaign</h4>

<p><strong>We need a governor who will treat climate change with the urgency it demands.</strong></p><p>Connecticut faces rising sea levels, more frequent flooding, and extreme weather that threatens our communities, economy, and way of life. We need a governor who will treat climate change with the urgency it demands—not just setting targets, but actually delivering results.</p>

<h2>Protecting our Environment</h2>

<p>“Connecticut is long overdue for progressive change that betters the lives of all our residents. Josh Elliott is the candidate for governor our members trust to meet this moment, confronting the authoritarian threat to our democracy head-on and building a tax structure that finally asks the wealthiest to pay their fair share,”&nbsp;<strong>the Good Trouble-Indivisible Norwalk Steering Committee said.</strong></p>

<h4>Good Trouble-Indivisible Norwalk Endorses Josh Elliott’s Campaign for Governor</h4>

<p>Eversource and UI having monopolies in their regions means we will just wait and hope for the best. Meanwhile, we are currently being asked to pay some of the highest energy rates in the country.</p>

<h4>Elliott Statement on Eversource Power Outages</h4>

<p>Connecticut families pay some of the highest energy costs in the country while the CEO of Eversource earns more than $19 million a year, over 100 times what a frontline lineman makes. It’s time to rein in utility excess, give towns real options, and build an energy system rooted in renewables, resilience, and fairness. I'm not just going to complain about Eversource. I have a plan to take them on.</p>

<h2>Lower Energy Costs</h2>

<p>The tour will highlight the issues facing Connecticut’s working families —&nbsp;tax reform, school funding deficits, energy costs, threats from the federal administration, and more —&nbsp;and the need for new leadership. At each stop, Elliott will be joined by local leaders, stakeholders, and community members.</p>

<h4>Elliott to Host Statewide "Build the Future" Tour</h4>

<h4>Bridgeport Meet & Greet</h4>

<p>Join Josh and Bridgeport's 130th Democrats for a conversation about tax equity, education reform, and the future of our state.</p>

Bridgeport Meet & Greet

<p>As your Governor, I will make sure that Connecticut stands with every child in the state regardless of their immigration status and will use everything in my power to stop these orders from taking effect.</p>

<h4>Elliott Statement on New Executive Orders Targeting Birthright Citizenship </h4>

<p>As Governor, I will build access into our infrastructure, our budgets, and our laws from the start — instead of patch-working it in after the fact — and I will refuse to ask disabled residents to prove they are poor enough, compliant enough, or grateful enough to deserve a life here.</p>

<h2>Access, Autonomy, and Dignity for Every Connecticut Resident</h2>

<p><strong>Every Connecticut resident deserves to be able to afford and live here, especially&nbsp; our seniors. </strong>Connecticut is one of the richest states in the richest country in the world. If you choose to retire and spend your golden years here, you should do so with dignity and pride.</p>
