Dear Neighbor,

This Wednesday was opening day of the 2026 Legislative session. My colleagues and I are gearing up for a busy short session, working hard to pass critical legislation through May 6th. It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve New Britain in the Connecticut General Assembly.  
 
It's easier than ever to follow along and get involved. There are several resources you can utilize that will help you stay updated on the legislative process as it unfolds in Hartford.

Here's how you can stay connected and actively participate:  

  • The Office of Legislative Research (OLR) provides nonpartisan and unbiased research to members of the General Assembly and their staff. Part of their duties includes writing bill analyses, which are summaries of bills in plain language. Click here to check out their website. 
  • You can view the Connecticut General Assembly's upcoming events by checking out its schedule on the CGA's official website
  • Follow CT-N for live coverage of committee meetings, as well as House and Senate floor debates. 
  • You can register to monitor any bill's journey through the legislative process. By signing up, you can enter the bill number and receive real-time updates. Stay informed with email notifications whenever there's a change in the bill's progress. 
  • Click here for information on how to testify on a bill at a public hearing.

2026 looks to be a critical year for our state. I look forward to meeting the moment and tackling issues that will benefit our community as well as the state as a whole. Thank you to everyone in the 26th who has reached out to my office over the past few weeks. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. 

 

Sincerely,

Dave DeFronzo
State Representative
