He later went on to obtain his J.D. at Quinnipiac School of Law.&nbsp;In 2016, he won a historic primary for the 88th District House seat, successfully pushing the sitting Speaker of the Connecticut House into early retirement. Since then, Josh has been re-elected by wide margins each cycle. Over nearly a decade of service, he has established himself as a leading progressive voice, advancing policies that strengthen Connecticut’s economy and keep it competitive with surrounding states.

We are running a 169 town campaign.

<h2>Josh's proudest accomplishment: Telecommunications for Incarcerated People</h2>Josh is dedicated to improving the treatment of Connecticut's incarcerated population. He is an active advocate of banning the use of solitary confinement. He pushed for Connecticut to be the first state to remove the cost for incarcerated individuals to make phone calls to loved ones. Prior to this Connecticut had the highest cost in the United States for these calls. Studies show a positive correlation between family communication and lower reincarceration rates.

<h3>Since getting elected, Josh has been taking on tough fights.</h3>As the founder of the Tax Equity Caucus and the Progressive Caucus, Josh has been a driving force in efforts to reform Connecticut’s regressive tax system, ensuring that the wealthiest residents pay their fair share rather than shifting the burden onto low-income families. His commitment to working families is evident in his support for landmark legislation, including raising the minimum wage, guaranteeing paid sick days for all Connecticut workers, and establishing paid family and medical leave.&nbsp;He believes so deeply that the right to vote is a fundamental feature of government that he has sponsored several bills aimed at efficiently reforming Connecticut’s electoral system. Among these are a bill that would restore voting privileges of formerly incarcerated individuals on parole, and a bill that would implement a ranked-choice voting system, which would allow a voter to rank candidates by their preference.

Connecticut has an economy that is rigged to favor the wealthy and well-connected. We deserve a Governor who's in our corner.

As Governor, Josh will continue to advocate for working families.

<h3>With Josh Elliott on primary ballot, Lamont’s summer gets hotter</h3>“Ned’s always been able to just throw a ton of money at a problem and come out OK, but he’s never really dealt with a campaign like this before,” Elliott said. “I’m an incredibly experienced campaigner, and I build authentic relationships, and I get people to buy into a vision. And I also listen to people.”

<h3>Elliott Plugs Public Power</h3>“Eversource and UI are so expensive because they’re privately held. They are trying to make their shareholders happy. Eversource doubled their profits last year … Eversource’s CEO makes $19 million a year,” Elliott said.

<h3>How a debate over taxing the wealthy could decide Connecticut’s Democratic primary</h3>“He has been at the helm of government for the largest tax increase on the middle class that we have seen in decades because those of us in the legislature that want to see true tax relief for working families can’t get this through our governor,” Elliott said.

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.The solutions:<ul><li>End over-reliance on local property taxes to fund schools.</li><li>Prioritize and fund special education and better address underserved school districts.</li><li>Support universal early childhood education&nbsp;access.&nbsp;</li><li>Better funding and support for teachers and paras.</li></ul>

Fully Fund Our Schools

We are living through a moment of extraordinary concentration of wealth and power. The Trump administration has gutted the National Labor Relations Board, leaving workers without a functioning federal agency to protect their rights. Unions are the single most effective institution we have ever built. 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.The solutions:<ul><li>Pass the Striking Workers Bill. Workers deserve a state that has their back. This bill would establish a $1 million fund, financed through the unemployment insurance system, to support workers who remain on strike for more than two weeks. That two-week threshold is crucial: nearly all strikes end before reaching it. Evidence from other states shows that when similar funding is available, strikes lasting more than two weeks decline sharply—because the ability to sustain a strike for a longer period gives workers greater bargaining power and helps speed up negotiations with employers.</li><li>Create a State Income Tax Credit for 100% of Union Dues. Private interests are spending money to convince workers to leave their unions. The economic argument they are making should not go unanswered. We will respond directly by making dues cost nothing out of pocket for Connecticut workers.</li><li>Install a Labor Liaison. Having a dedicated position in the Governor’s office to advise on and guide state labor policy, and to work directly with unions across the state, gives workers greater influence—and a seat at the table.</li></ul>

Josh Elliott, Democratic Challenger for Connecticut Governor, Responds to Trump’s Attacks on Connecticut CommunitiesHamden, CT – 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.Here in Connecticut, we look out for our neighbors. That’s why we have some of the strongest pro-immigrant laws in the country, and why we are always fighting to expand protections for marginalized communities.But Donald Trump has made it his mission to attack those values. He is tearing families apart and working every day to terrorize our neighbors. That’s why ICE detained a Cheshire High School student, the son of someone who worked hand-in-hand with the U.S. military in Afghanistan. That’s why he’s attacking Norwalk. And that’s why Trump’s DOJ is suing New Haven for protecting its immigrant population.As Governor, I will never hesitate to stand up to bullies, whether they’re in the White House or the board room. I will always put our neighbors first.

Health insurance as an industry should not exist. For too long, working people have been taken advantage of by insurance corporations who have no obligation to care about anything other than their bottom lines. And it’s not just people who are hurt by this. Budgets for small businesses and municipalities are becoming more and more strained as they have to pay for insurance for their employees. The system is broken and we know it.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.The solutions:<ul><li>Deliver a Real Public Option: Working people deserve more than rhetoric when it comes to health insurance. They deserve a real public option. One that moves us gradually toward a single-payer system. We need to improve the existing state health insurance plan, and slowly start bringing working people onto it; starting with municipal workers, then non-profits, then small businesses. Under this system, we will ensure that people can see the state plan in action and know that it works.</li><li>Invest in Job Training and Preparedness: In the process of taking on the insurance companies, Connecticut may lose some insurance jobs. That’s a reality we must tackle head on. Preemptively investing in job training programs will be essential to ensuring folks are not out of work. This also includes tuition and training assistance for those seeking to enter a new field.</li></ul>

Delivering Universal Healthcare

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; Hamden, CT – 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;The endorsement adds to Elliott’s momentum. On May 16, he far surpassed the 15% threshold among state party convention delegates to win a spot on the ballot, officially becoming the first to primary a sitting Connecticut governor in 48 years. He recently announced endorsements from more than 70 state and local elected officials. An April poll shows him tied with Governor Lamont among voters aged 18-34.“Connecticut needs a governor who will hear and understand the state's diverse constituents. Connecticut needs a governor who will stand up to the corporate elite and the oligarchy. Josh is exactly that. As a first time voter and emerging college student, there is no one I am more proud to vote for than Josh. He will represent everyday people, the youth, and those who are often underrepresented in state government. Our voices matter. Josh will provide a platform for us to not just feel seen, but to be seen,” said Evan Lucas, Connecticut High School Democrats Chair. “Connecticut is a fantastic state, but we cannot remain stagnant and work with the belief that it is best for tomorrow to look like today, let alone the past. The people of Connecticut deserve a governor willing not only to embrace but also to be outspoken and initiate action to make progress. As an Asian-American student and lifelong middle-class Connecticuter, I am confident that Josh Elliott will do his constituents justice as Connecticut's governor. Josh will not only speak for us–he will act for us. His campaign has already made an impact by highlighting longstanding, pressing issues such as the abysmal racial disparities in our state's funding for school districts. I intend to continue supporting Josh's transformative campaign in hopes that middle-class families like mine can breathe easier and students like me can get the education they deserve, free from a system that stunts their opportunities and forces them to see the unequal quality of their education rather than simply attaining it. I urge others, residents of Connecticut or not, to stand with us as well,” said Allison Tran, Connecticut High School Democrats Vice Chair.

Our state must take a holistic approach to public health. 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.Mental health issues, addiction, and other crises have exploded in recent decades. We must be willing to make meaningful investments in not just our public health infrastructure, but in addressing the root causes of these crises as well.The solutions:<ul><li>Invest in Mental Health Care: It’s time we treat mental illness just like any other health problem. This means making investments in mental health infrastructure, and ensuring mental health treatments are covered by insurance. Study after study has shown that there is a direct link between mental and physical health. We cannot expect good outcomes for one if we do not invest in the other.</li><li>Treat Addiction like a Health Crisis, Not a Crime: Far too many people are incarcerated due to addiction. For decades we have tried to arrest our way out of an addiction crisis that clearly goes so much deeper. The status quo is not working. We should be listening to science, and science tells us that addiction is an illness that must be treated as such. Our state should be investing in harm reduction strategies to address addiction, including life-saving safe injection sites.&nbsp;</li><li>Fill in the Scientific Funding Gaps: In Trump’s second term, he has taken a chainsaw to scientific research funding at the federal level. The losses that will come as a result cannot be measured. We will never know what discoveries were not made and what lives were not saved. But at the state level, we can fill in the gaps. We should be making record investments in our state universities to ensure scientific research continues. Our future depends on it.&nbsp;</li><li>Address Affordability Anxiety: Families are being stretched thin. By bringing down energy costs, lowering property taxes, and ensuring we make real investments in public education, we can relieve some stress that has been taking a toll on working people.&nbsp;</li></ul>

Creating a Healthy Connecticut

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. My administration will accelerate the transition to clean energy, invest in resilient infrastructure, and ensure that the communities hit hardest by pollution and environmental neglect are first in line for resources and relief.The solutions:<ul><li>Environmental Justice First: Direct priority funding to environmental justice communities for brownfield cleanup, pollution reduction, and access to green spaces. Make Connecticut beaches publicly accessible and affordable for all families.</li><li>Accelerate Clean Energy: Streamline permitting and invest aggressively in offshore wind and solar to make Connecticut a national leader in renewable energy, create good-paying green jobs, and bring down energy costs long-term.</li><li>Fix Our Infrastructure Now: Provide direct state funding to municipalities struggling with unprecedented flooding, aging culverts, and overwhelmed sewer systems. Communities shouldn't have to wait for the next storm to get help.</li><li>Expand Public Transit and EV Access: Improve and expand affordable public transportation to reduce car dependence and traffic congestion. Electrify bus fleets—including school buses—to cut emissions in asthma hotspots. Build out statewide EV charging infrastructure with real incentives for families and businesses.</li><li>Invest in Natural Resilience: Protect and restore wetlands, coastlines, and urban green spaces that buffer communities against extreme weather and sequester carbon naturally, while preserving biodiversity for future generations.</li><li>Smart Land Use: Give municipalities standardized climate data and the tools they need to adopt climate-friendly development policies. Incentivize green infrastructure and emerging technologies.</li><li>Create a Connecticut Climate Corps: Launch a paid fellowship program placing young people with state agencies, academic institutions, and nonprofits to work on our most pressing climate challenges—building the next generation of environmental leaders while getting critical work done.</li></ul>

Protecting our Environment

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 break their grip on our state:<ul><li>Take on Eversource’s monopoly<ul><li>Change our eminent domain laws. Right now, if a municipality or the state wants to acquire utility infrastructure, we have to pay market value — whatever Eversource's investors think the assets are worth. I'm proposing we change the law to allow acquisition at book value — what the assets actually cost, minus depreciation. That's the only way a public option becomes affordable.</li><li>Create statewide ballot initiative rights. Connecticut is one of the few states where citizens can't put questions directly to voters. The legislature has a monopoly on what gets voted on. I want to change our constitution to give people that power. We need two tracks to win this fight — one through the legislature, and one that lets the people act directly when the legislature won't. That's how you build real pressure for change.</li><li>Revoke the monopoly. Eversource has an exclusive franchise to serve most of Connecticut. There's no competition, no alternative, no accountability. We should open their franchise rights to review and create space for municipal utilities or a state-run option.</li><li>A public power option. Whether it's municipal utilities, a statewide consumer-owned authority, or something else — we need an alternative to a for-profit monopoly that answers to Wall Street instead of working families. Other states have public power systems that deliver cheaper, more reliable electricity. Connecticut deserves that choice.</li></ul></li><li>Return utility profit margins to reasonable, historical levels</li><li>Make it easier for towns to form or join municipal electric utilities</li><li>Create state-backed financing tools for municipalities to buy distribution infrastructure</li><li>End state support for natural gas expansion</li><li>Adopt a binding transition plan off natural gas</li><li>Expand rooftop and community solar with guaranteed interconnection timelines</li><li>Make historic investments in undergrounding electric lines</li><li>Expand microgrids for towns, schools, and critical facilities</li><li>Accelerate heat pump adoption</li><li>Tie CEO pay to frontline worker pay</li><li>Ban ratepayer-funded executive bonuses</li></ul>
