It is easiest to communicate with them by email or phone, using cga.ct.gov or this Directory for contact information. • Be brief; discuss only one or two issues. • Write to each legislator individually and use your own words. • Identify legislation by number or title, if possible. If you know the number, author or subject of a bill, a phone call to Hartford (860) 240-0555, will get you information on bill status in minutes or visit the CT General Assembly website at www.cga.ct.gov and click on Search. • Make your communications timely. Remember, the Connecticut General Assembly is a part-time legislature that begins its sessions early in the year and does not meet in the summer or fall. • Influence legislative committees by testifying at their public hearings on proposed bills. • Write notes of appreciation to your legislators when appropriate. Support them when they adopt a position that you have advocated. GUIDELINES FOR CORRESPONDENCE THE PRESIDENT OF The Honorable Joseph R.

  • 2018 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD a Note from Our Executive Director
    2018 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD A Note from Our Executive Director Welcome to our 2018 Legislative Scorecard. This year will mark NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut’s 40th anniversary as an advocate for reproductive freedom here in the Nutmeg State. As we reflect on how far we have come, we are proud of our state’s strong history of protecting reproductive rights. This includes being one of a handful of states to have codified Roe v. Wade in our state statutes, recognizing the constitutional right of individuals to access abortion, a fact that is more important now than ever before. But increased attacks on reproductive freedom at the federal level have led to an emboldened anti- choice movement here in Connecticut. Many of our legislators responded to these threats by introducing and cosponsoring legislation intended to protect our reproductive healthcare and rights. The bills we supported and that are included in this scorecard also highlight the intersectional lens that advocacy for reproductive freedom requires, a position championed by many of our pro-choice legislators. Though some of these pieces of legislation failed to pass, our guide lists those legislators who supported these bills by introducing them, cosponsoring them, or voting in their favor in the Connecticut House or Senate. We are particularly proud of the work legislators did in passing H.B. 5210, codifying in state law the 10 Essential Health Benefits and women’s preventive services outlined in the ACA, which was recently signed into law by Governor Malloy. We were also pleased to see our bill on fake women’s health centers reach a public hearing.

We appreciate the time and effort that you have put forth in creating your campus reopening plans. While not comprehensive, the list that follows comprises many of the suggestions we heard during the hearing: • Taking temperatures of all persons entering campus buildings, residential and academic • Increased testing for faculty, staff and all students, including at the Community Colleges • Pooling testing to reduce costs (UConn model) • Increased options for faculty and staff to work and teach virtually without the need to share private medical information • Increased flexibility in how professors teach their classes • Increased flexibility in teaching platforms and use of technology • Increased IT support for virtual learning platforms We respectfully request that you consider implementing these suggestions to help keep students, faculty and staff safe after reopening our public college campuses. To assist with the implementation of these recommendations, we request that you seek additional CARES Act funding through the Governor's office. We look forward to hearing from you with implementation plans. If you choose not to implement any of these ideas, we would appreciate hearing the rationale for your decision.

    State of Connecticut HOUSE REPUBLICAN OFFICE STATE CAPITOL HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT 06106-1591 September 7, 2020 Office of Governor Ned Lamont State Capitol 210 Capitol Avenue Hartford, CT 06106 Dear Governor Lamont, We respectfully request that you convene a meeting with your office and officials from the Department of Public Health and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference as soon as possible to find a path forward to allow high school football to be played this fall. Connecticut is a national leader against the spread of COVID 19 and we are proud of the example that we have set for the rest of the country. Connecticut has among the best metrics in the United States. We believe that we can continue this trend while still allowing our youth to engage in sports activities. As you are aware, Connecticut youth have been playing football along with all other team sports over that past several months and this has not led to a spike in our infection rate. Participation in team sports is immeasurably valuable to our youth. Sports provide structure and opportunity for students who may otherwise be left without a solid support system. Sports also provide students with scholarship opportunities. Failure to have a football season this fall will undoubtedly put Connecticut students at a disadvantage as they compete against students from other states. We strongly believe that if we work together, football can happen this fall. Let’s do our best to make sure that our student athletes have the opportunity to compete. Thank you for your timely consideration of the important request.
