Connecticut's U.S. House Delegation Endorses Governor Ned Lamont for Re-Election

HARTFORD, C.T. – Today, Connecticut’s entire U.S. House delegation endorsed Governor Ned Lamont for re-election. In a joint statement, they said:

“Governor Ned Lamont is a proven leader who delivers real results for Connecticut. Since day one, he’s fought back against the Trump administration and its harmful policies, and most recently ensured that no family or senior in Connecticut is pushed closer to hunger despite attempts by the White House to restrict access to vital food assistance programs. When COVID hit, Governor Lamont led our state through that unprecedented crisis and has since signed some of the most ambitious and progressive legislation in Connecticut’s history, moving our state forward. When Trump issued an unprecedented halt work order delaying wind energy from coming to our state, Governor Lamont fought back and won, protecting jobs and lowering energy costs in Connecticut.

He understands that too many Connecticut residents are living paycheck to paycheck, which is why he has consistently fought for tax cuts and expanded tax credits. He knows we have to ease the burdens on working and retired people.

Recognizing that housing costs are one of the biggest barriers to opportunity, Governor Lamont has made strategic, targeted investments to increase housing supply and keep communities strong. He has accelerated the construction of quality, affordable homes and worked with local leaders to expand options near transit and job centers. His approach respects local decision-making while ensuring families, seniors, and young people can afford to build their lives here in Connecticut.  

Governor Lamont is the leader we need who will continue standing up to the Trump administration. Connecticut deserves a governor who will never back down, never waver, and never stop putting Connecticut first. Governor Lamont has always had our backs, and we are proud to stand with him and support his re-election.”

Signed,

- John Larson — 1st District

- Joe Courtney — 2nd District

- Rosa DeLauro — 3rd District

- Jim Himes — 4th District

- Jahana Hayes — 5th District
