The following newly elected members of the 2021 General Assembly—a bipartisan group representing both major political parties—signed the Rebuilding Connecticut pledge.
In signing the pledge, they support its package of common sense policies that will help Connecticut employers—particularly struggling small businesses—manage the high costs of navigating COVID-19 restrictions, create and retain jobs, and lead the state’s economic recovery and growth for the benefit of all residents.
