Where Doug Stands
Fighting for Our Schools
Leads the fight to fully fund our public schools so that every child in our community, no matter their zip code, gets a high-quality education. The district received hundreds of millions in education funding this year, with Hartford among the biggest winners in the state.
Protecting Our Seniors
Preserved tax cuts on Social Security and pensions, keeping more money in the pockets of Connecticut's retirees and people living on fixed incomes. Fought to defend Medicaid and long-term care from federal cuts and to fund the senior centers and home-care services that help older residents stay in the communities they built.
Making Childcare Affordable for Working Families
Secured over $600 million to establish Connecticut's Child Care Endowment Fund, the first of its kind in the nation, putting childcare on track to be free for families earning under $100,000 by 2030.
Lowering Costs for Our Towns
Backed Connecticut's bipartisan, balanced budget that paid down billions in debt with no new taxes and sent hundreds of millions to our towns for real property tax relief.
