Juan R. Candelaria

I am honored to have been recognized and presented with an award from our friends at the Center for Latino Progress for our work and commitment on behalf of the many English language learners across the state.

Rep. Juan Candelaria once again led the House to passage of a measure that would simplify the process for undocumented immigrants when applying for a drive-only CT license. The bill, which had bipartisan support, would allow undocumented immigrants to present birth certificates and foreign national identification cards as a secondary form of proof of identity when applying for a driver's license.
