If we do not reform our tax structure, working families will continue to bear a disproportionate tax burden. That's a fact.
Thank you to everyone who turned out for our debate watch parties in Willimantic, Norwalk, Meriden, and Hamden last night! I am eternally grateful to all of our volunteers putting in the time and energy to help this campaign and build community across the state.
H.R. 1 was a trillion and a half dollar giveaway to the ultra-wealthy. Many of them live in our state. We can absolutely backfill the federal cuts to SNAP and other programs.
Doing nothing is a choice. Preventing progress is a choice. As Governor, I will never back down from a tough fight.
I'm tired of being told there's nothing we can do. We can make our state's economy more fair when we elect leaders with the courage to make it happen.
While Ned Lamont says Bridgeport doesn't deserve librarians, I'm fighting to fully fund every school in every zip code.
We must be doing everything we can to protect our state from the creep of fascism.
We must be investing significantly more investments in DCF to ensure their hard working employees have the resources they need to keep kids safe and protected.
I am honored to have Rep Jason Doucette's endorsement in this race. He knows how broken our tax structure is and what we need to do to fix it. I look forward to working with him as Governor.
Connecticut is the most unequal state in America. It's time we have a Governor who is willing to tackle the issue head on by fully funding our schools and asking the ultra-wealthy to pay their fair share.
Solar power is energy freedom. But making it cheaper while Eversource still controls the grid is like handing someone a better bike and leaving the road broken. Real reform means breaking the monopoly. Municipal power is next. https://portal.ct.gov/governor/news/press-releases #MunicipalPower
Tune in tomorrow night for the WTNH debate! I look forward to sharing my vision for a more affordable and prosperous state.

Thank you to everyone who attended last week's FaithActs for Education forum. Connecticut must live up to its promise to fund every public school. We are simply not meeting the moment right now. As Governor, I will fight to fully fund all of our schools in every zip code.
Check out our new ad! As your Governor, I will work every day to make Connecticut a state all of us can afford.
Publicly-owned and operated utilities have better outcomes. Every town in the state should have the option to buy back their grid and deliver results for their communities.
We're in the home stretch! Head to joshforct.com/vote for information on absentee ballots, early voting, and more! Let's get this done, Connecticut.
We had a great canvass kickoff with @the_4cs in West Hartford today! We’re all in to fight for an education system that lifts everyone up. I’m honored to have their support in this campaign.
Connecticut has a broken tax system. I am running for Governor to make it more fair for working families and to fully fund our schools at the same time.
We never let a bit of rain slow us down. I had a blast in Deep River and East Lyme today!
Your energy bill is too high. I am running for Governor to take on the system that is asking for yet another rate increase. Because you deserve someone in Hartford who will go to bat for you. You deserve public power.
I want to hear from the people most impacted by our state's education-funding crisis. Join me on Monday night for a virtual town hall with teachers and families! Sign up at j4ct.com/edu.
Tonight’s remarks are another desperate attempt by the Trump administration to create doubt and fear around our elections. Trump is a bully and a sore loser. He knows that his authoritarian agenda is unpopular– so he wants to undermine our democratic process in advance of the midterms.
Lobbyists should not be telling us what is and is not possible. We can take on the tough fights when we have the right people in the right decisions. That's why I am running for Governor.
We are knocking doors and mobilizing in every part of the state. Join us at an event near you! Head to mobilize.us/joshforct to sign up!
