Saying she has much more to do in Hartford, state Rep. Kathy Kennedy (R-119) has announced she plans to run for a second term this November. Kennedy’s district covers parts of Milford and Orange.
Kennedy currently serves on the Public Health, Environment and Education committees and is a member of the bipartisan Women’s caucus, the Coastal caucus, the I/DD caucus for those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and the EMS/Fire caucus.
Kennedy spent her first term fighting against Democratic plans, including the two-year budget that passed in 2019 and various iterations of Gov. Ned Lamont’s plan to place tolls on highways.
Additionally, Kennedy spent many hours communicating with residents through email and phone conversation while also having regular office hours, making sure she was getting the true pulse of the district and what they wanted.
“Last year was a very eye-opening lesson into the legislative session. Many pieces of legislation came out of the State Capitol that quite frankly will harm the taxpayers and state businesses, which is why I voted against so many bills,” Kennedy said. “I will continue to protect the interests of the people of Milford and Orange and will oppose legislation I see as hurting their family budgets.”
