L. Scott Frantz – Member, Connecticut State Senate Representing Greenwich, New Canaan and Stamford State Senator L. Scott Frantz is half way through his fourth term in the General Assembly where he represents the 36th District, which includes the communities of Greenwich, New Canaan and Stamford. Senator Frantz has been named Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate Republican Caucus, and Ranking Member of the General Assembly’s Finance and Commerce Committees. In addition, Senator Frantz serves on the Transportation and Legislative Management Committees. As a ranking member of the Commerce and Finance Committees, Senator Frantz is contributing to ongoing efforts to help Connecticut businesses succeed, protect jobs, promote employment, and balance future state budgets. On the Transportation Committee, he is working to help find solutions to Connecticut’s mass transportation and infrastructure needs and challenges. During the 2015 Legislative Session Senator Frantz championed a number of policy changes of which Emily’s Law is the one he is the most proud. The law, named after Emily Fedorko, raises the minimum towing age to 16 while requiring the training of all new boaters in proper towing techniques. Emily died in a tubing accident in August 2014. Senator Frantz joined the Fedorko family in supporting this legislation which will in turn help support the mission of the Emily Catherine Fedorko Foundation to better educate boaters and promote overall safety awareness in what will hopefully become a model law for the entire country.
