Raghib Allie-Brennan

An op-ed I wrote on World AIDS Day got picked up by the CT Mirror’s Viewpoints section. It’s a reflection piece that takes stock of the state of HIV/AIDS in Connecticut.

The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CT LCV) has announced that State Representative Raghib Allie-Brennan has been recognized as a 2019 Environmental Champion and received a 100 percent score based upon his voting record during the 2019 legislative session.

I’ve been asked about what this massive document will do to property and income tax rates as well as social security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits. I write this in an attempt to cut through the disinformation and deliver some basic facts.

State Senator Mae Flexer and State Representatives Raghib Allie-Brennan and Pat Boyd are leading a group of over two dozen legislators in calling on Governor Ned Lamont (D-Conn.) to oppose the construction of a gas-fired power plant in the town of Killingly.

Today, State Rep. Raghib Allie-Brennan and more than two dozen bipartisan elected state representatives wrote to state Commissioner of Agriculture Bryan Hurlburt to urge the Department’s support for legislation banning Connecticut pet stores from selling inhumanely bred animals.

Boehringer Ingelheim is our state’s largest biopharmaceutical company and employs over 2,500 Connecticut residents. This company has made significant investments in research and development (R&D) which is on full display in their state of the art immuno-oncology and microbiome labs. Nationally, companies like BI employ more than 800k people and directly/indirectly support almost 5 million jobs.

I am pleased to report that Governor Lamont has signed the “Mental Health Parity Act” which will increase access to insurance coverage for mental health and substance abuse conditions.
