Josh Elliott

State Rep. Josh Elliott voices his support for Senate Bill 321, which would establish a fair workweek by helping to eliminate the practice of on-call scheduling for Connecticut's big box retail, food service, hospitality and home care workers.

State Rep. Josh Elliott voted 417 times during the 2017 legislative session, earning him a 100 percent voting record. Elliott voted in favor of bills that strengthen current protections for pregnant and nursing women under the state's anti-discrimination law and allow municipalities to tap into a reserve of funding to purchase body and dashboard cameras for police cruisers.

During the 2017 regular legislative session, state Rep. Josh Elliott fought to build a more progressive future for Connecticut by advocating for legislation that implements new revenue and allows the state to remain competitive with the likes of Massachusetts and New York. 

This legislative session, the Hamden delegation and I worked hard to strengthen the town’s greatest assets. We passed legislation that puts Hamden and Connecticut residents first and further supports businesses – both large and small.

Today, I spoke in favor of bills that call for pay equity in the workplace.

I spoke at a press conference today to condemn the 95 Appropriation Committee bills that threaten the wage and benefits of nurses, teachers, and firefighters.

This Wednesday, March 22, the Judiciary Committee will be holding a public hearing on legalizing marijuana.

In the next few weeks, I will be holding a Town Hall Forum to gather input from you for this legislative session. My job as a state representative is to advocate on behalf of my constituents and support issues important to Hamden. With the proposed budget just released, it is especially important that I hear as much feedback as possible.
