  • Candidates for Federal Office for US Senator Christopher S Murphy Matthew Corey Richard Lion Jeff Russell for US Representative
    Candidates for Federal Office For US Senator Christopher S Murphy Matthew Corey Richard Lion Jeff Russell For US Representative District 1 John Larson 1. In light of documented attacks on our election systems, would you vote to require and fund all states to replace paperless electronic voting machines with voting machines that use and count paper ballots? Yes. Congress has a responsibility to uphold the integrity of our elections. That priority is neither Democratic, nor Republican – it is an issue that is central to our democracy. That is why I have supported and voted for past legislation to establish a grants program for state and local governments to make backup paper ballots available in case electronic voting machines break down. In addition to paper ballots, nonpartisan election officials should have an audit of these ballots to confirm election results. Citizens should feel confident that their vote will be counted. 2. How will you ensure access to medical care and affordable health insurance with reasonable benefits for all Americans? By fighting back against the sale of junk insurance and protecting those with pre-existing conditions. We must move beyond trying to repeal the ACA and towards improving access to affordable care. That’s why I introduced the Medicare Buy-In & Health Care Stabilization Act (HR 3748) along with Congressman Courtney, to allow Americans ages 50-64 years old to buy into Medicare. Experts have looked at the data and found a 60-year-old could save 40 percent on premiums with a Medicare Buy-In compared to a Gold plan on the marketplace today.

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.

    JOURNAL OF THE SENATE Wednesday, January 6, 2021 On Wednesday after the first Monday of January A.D. 2021 the date by the Constitution of the State of Connecticut for the meeting of the General Assembly, the Senate convened in the Senate Chamber in Hartford at 10:04 a.m. The Senate was called to order by Secretary of State, Dennis Merrill on the South Lawn of Capitol due to COVID-19 pandemic. The prayer was offered by the Senate Chaplain, Rabbi Philip Lazowski of Bloomfield, Connecticut. The following is the prayer: Our thought for the day is: (Exodus 15:26) " I the Lord am your healer." Friends, we have not seen each other since the onset of this terrible pandemic which has taken so many lives here in Connecticut, around the nation, and around the world. According to the Hartford Courant, as of January 3rd, 2021 in the State of Connecticut we have lost 6,099 live to the virus. Everyone knows a family who has seen loss as a result of this terrible sickness. As we begin a new season of the Connecticut Senate, let us pause for a moment of silence for the dead. And let us pray for the confront for all their mourners. O Merciful God on High, bring us under the sheltering wings of your Divine Presence and the souls of those woman, men and youth who have perished in the terrible Corona Virus Pandemic. To those who suffer with the illness, we ask for healing. Strengthen the hands of the caregivers, the doctors, the nurses, and health workers who extend themselves every day on behalf of the afflicted and to all our responders.
