Dear Neighbor,

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful weekend sending out the old and ringing in the new.

As for me, I am busily preparing to start session this Wednesday, January 4th. It also marks the start of the new term of all of the constitutional officers as well. If you’d like to watch the swearing in or any of session, you’ll find details below on how to do just that.

If you have any ideas for legislation or if there are any issues I can help you with, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. For your convenience, my new constituent engagement coordinator, aka my aide, is Will Cromwell and his email is William.Cromwell@cga.ct.gov.

Again, Happy New Year!

Eleni
2023 Is Right Around the Corner!
Happy New Year to you and your family! As the year ends, I want to take a moment to reflect on the past year and be thankful for the support of the community near and far. Cheers to another great year, as I wish much happiness, health, and wealth to you all.

Once we ring in the new year, the Connecticut General Assembly will quickly get back into business. The 2023 legislative session is set to begin on Wednesday, January 4. Every legislative session and committee meeting will be streamed live on CT-N.
 
In addition to watching session and public hearings, there are numerous ways for you to stay engaged in our state's democracy. Below are just some of the resources available to you as the 2023 legislative session gets underway:
  • Visit the CGA website to view a daily schedule of events, access committee information, find your State Senator or State Representative, and more.
  • Read the Bulletin to find out when committees are meeting, how to provide public hearing testimony, and more.
  • Register for the CGA's Bill Tracking system to follow any bill as it moves through the legislative process. You will receive notifications when the bill's status changes.
  • For information on how to testify on a bill that is up for a public hearing, follow this link.
  • Access the CGA's Citizen's Guide for more on how you can become part of the process.
  • Are you curious about how your tax dollars are spent? The State Comptroller's OpenConnecticut web portal allows residents to track state government spending in real-time.
Your concerns and opinions are fundamental to the legislative process. Please continue to reach out to me to share your thoughts, ideas, and questions. 
Sincerely,

Eleni Kavros DeGraw
State Representative
