Connecticut has come a long way, but our work isn’t done. We’ve gotten our fiscal house in order and are pushing for universal early childhood education and affordable healthcare via the CT option.

From the beginning, this race has been about fighting for CT families. Ryan Fazio can’t be honest about what he believes and what he’s voted for. He's wrong on Trump, on taxes, on schools, on helping Connecticut families in need. Ryan is deeply out of touch with Connecticut values.

When has Ryan Fazio disagreed with Trump since 2016? He hasn't. He thinks Trump is doing a "good job" (Fazio's own words!) Has Fazio ever criticized Trump on Iran? Is there one example? Last we checked, Fazio refused to say ONE WORD about Trump's disasterous War in Iran.

Ryan Fazio does not support Connecticut’s childcare endowment. Period. This fund will help families save thousands on childcare. Fazio can’t even answer a straight question about whether he supports it. Connecticut families deserve better.

wtnh.comConnecticut leaders highlight $700M milestone in Connecticut Early Childhood Education Endowment in HartfordHARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Over $700 million is now invested in the Connecticut Early Childhood Education Endowment, and state leaders highlighted the historic milestone Friday in Hartford. On June 3…

Ryan Fazio’s health care record is not complicated: Worse, more expensive coverage, with fewer insured. Fazio has advocated for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, rejected state action to lower costs, and voted against protections for patients and families (1/2)

Ryan Fazio wants to cut Medicaid coverage for children to pay for a tax plan built on math that doesn’t even work. When it comes to health care, Connecticut can’t afford Ryan. (2/2)

The problem for Ryan is you can’t campaign your way out of your own voting record. When CT's kids and teachers needed him, Ryan voted no – no on school breakfast, no on bipartisan education funding, no on early childhood education. That is his real education agenda.

The record is clear: at virtually every opportunity, Ryan Fazio voted to give ICE more power and Connecticut families fewer protections. If he had his way, our communities would be even more vulnerable to lCE crackdowns.

REMINDER: RYAN FAZIO IS ALL-IN ON ICE He voted against keeping ICE out of schools, hospitals, and houses of worship. (2026, SB 397) He voted against statewide protocols for schools when ICE comes knocking. (2025, HB 8004) He voted to let ICE keep wearing masks. (2026, SB 397)

Ryan Fazio has a lot to say about data centers for someone who isn't actually opposed to them. Gov. Lamont is the ONLY candidate on stage who has said no - loud and clear - to huge energy-sucking data centers.

Connecticut passed new safeguards for automated license plate readers, limiting who can access drivers’ data, how it can be shared, and how long it can be stored. Governor Lamont signed those protections into law. Ryan Fazio voted against the bill.

Time after time, Ryan’s bumper sticker policy plans can’t survive fact checks. He loves standing in front of cameras to read off talking points when no one can push back on him. But independent reviews found his tax plans don’t add up, his claims on energy don’t hold water... 1/2

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

The average family that heats their home with oil is going to pay $1500 more this winter because of Donald Trump’s insane Iran War. Some people will go cold. Some may die. This isn’t hyperbole. This is the consequence of having a president who just doesn’t care about you.

The momentum is REAL. 🔥 Our candidates’ laser focus on lowering costs is breaking through everywhere, from battleground districts to deep-red territory. Republicans are on defense, Democrats are on offense, and we’re taking this fight straight to them.

On the debate stage tonight, we saw Ryan Fazio try and fail to spin his way out of 5 years of votes undermining CT families. On healthcare, on affordability, on gun safety and the safety of our communities – there is one candidate in this race you can trust, and it isn’t Ryan.

When Trump and MAGA Republicans cut healthcare and food assistance, Gov. Lamont and CT Democrats swiftly created an emergency fund to blunt the impact to CT families. Not only did Ryan Fazio vote no, he’s doubling down - pushing for more cuts to healthcare programs.

Ryan Fazio voted against the creation of the Early Childhood Education Endowment, against another $320 million toward affordable childcare, and then had the nerve to call the whole thing a “slush fund.” For CT parents struggling with childcare, this is more than a campaign issue.

Ryan Fazio called Roe v. Wade “offensive to the rule of law.” And when Connecticut moved to protect reproductive healthcare from out-of-state attacks, Fazio voted against those protections. When it comes to fundamental freedoms, we can’t trust Ryan. It’s that simple.

Ryan Fazio voted against the emergency funding Connecticut used to fill in the gaps caused by Trump’s cuts to SNAP and healthcare. Fazio railed against the $500 million Response Fund, but provided no plan of his own for CT residents who would lose healthcare or pay higher premiums under Trump’s plan

Tonight, Ryan Fazio looked into a camera and claimed he isn't afraid to stand up to the Trump administration. The same Ryan Fazio refused to acknowledge the existence of Trump's War in Iran until 3 weeks ago.

We have been putting in the work all year — talking to voters across CT about everything at stake. Our candidates and volunteers have had a quarter-million conversations with voters, knocking on one door at a time, nearly a million times.

In 2023, Ryan Fazio voted against expanding Connecticut's paid sick-leave requirement to cover nearly all private-sector workers. Another reason Connecticut can't trust Ryan.

Hello. This is your reminder that the Russians secretly paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s private island wedding reception. The entire family is on the take and they believe the American people are suckers who won’t care. We care.

Donald Trump has tried over and over again to seize control of this election, to pick and choose who gets to vote and how we cast our ballots. Tonight, the United States Supreme Court sided with states and gave Trump a big no.
