We have made climate action a priority of our administration and I’m proud of the progress we’ve made in Connecticut. I’ll continue to do everything I can to ensure Connecticut continues to lead the way, and I’ll keep working collaboratively with governors across (2/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

This is another example of the Supreme Court advancing an ideological agenda that serves special interests, but not the national interest. We are running out of time as a nation to take action and prevent the worst impacts of the climate crisis. (1/3) https://t.co/gKIwVKBSAw — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to partner with my fellow governors on this Interstate Task Force, which is yet another way we’re taking action to combat gun violence and save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

I am confident that this will be a smooth transition, and that the staff of dedicated professionals that Secretary Merrill has led during her nearly 12 years in office are ready to continue carrying out the office's duties on behalf of the people of Connecticut. (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

The circumstances surrounding the need to fill this vacancy are very unfortunate, but I am pleased that Mark has agreed to step away briefly from his retirement and return to state service. (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Mark is incredibly well-respected as a levelheaded, tactful, and experienced attorney who has a considerable understanding of CT state statutes, particularly those concerning the operations of our elections and government administration. (3/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Mark recently retired from a 30-year career in the CT Office of the Attorney General, where he served as an associate attorney general. Most notably, he was head of the Special Litigation Department, which has responsibilities over election matters, among other items. (2/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Today I am announcing that I will appoint Mark Kohler to serve as Secretary of the State and fill the remainder of Secretary Denise Merrill's term following her anticipated resignation, which will become effective at noon today. (1/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Here in Connecticut, we’ve passed some of the strongest laws to protect you if you want to exercise your reproductive rights. We have your back. https://t.co/Jthldw1ho6 — PolitiTweet.org

People are hurting at the pump, and we know every little bit helps. CT remains one of only a small group of states that've cut the gas tax since oil prices began rising across the globe. Public buses are also free. Both the gas tax holiday and free buses go through 11/30. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

I know people are struggling with inflation. That's why we've cut $650M in taxes to help working people and middle-class families get by, including the Child Tax Rebate. Don't miss out on putting $250 per child back in your pocket. Apply by 7/31 at https://t.co/fNQK8XFM9k. https://t.co/80XwawbR5O — PolitiTweet.org

👍I have good news! From 7/1 to 9/5, kids get free admission to hundreds of museums across CT. It’s a great opportunity to have a little fun, stay connected, and get ready for the school year next fall. Visit https://t.co/Qn7Ca4ICgD to learn more. https://t.co/0hLchMZbA8 — PolitiTweet.org

Denise has delivered results, and our state is stronger because of her efforts. My prayers are with her and her family, and I thank her for everything she has given to Connecticut. (4/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

It can’t go without noting that our most recent statewide election resulted in the highest number of registered voters casting ballots in our state’s history, which is a credit to Denise’s efforts to encourage voter participation. (3/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

I am proud to have partnered with her on our collected efforts to increase access to voter registration, increase access to casting a ballot, increase election transparency, and streamline the way businesses interact with our state government. (2/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Denise Merrill is a dear friend to me, and her exit from public service is a tremendous loss for the people of Connecticut. Denise has had a long history of serving the public good in Connecticut and has become one of the most respected secretaries of state in the country. (1/4) https://t.co/LXqBKilFAS — PolitiTweet.org

Our firefighters work hard every day to keep you safe, so we’re investing to help keep them safe. Hamden will be getting a new fire station, and once it is built, the brave men and women who serve there will have the best tools and resources to do their job. https://t.co/2cJZ5Sgxvq — PolitiTweet.org

Connecticut was once one of the most entrepreneurial states in the country. Then we lost a little bit of our mojo, and we now are getting it back. Game changing companies once again want to set up shop or expand in our small and innovative state. https://t.co/Vza60XEtTE — PolitiTweet.org

Despite what the anti-choice crowd is saying, reproductive rights will be protected here in Connecticut. You can count on me and our allies in the legislature. https://t.co/NFI1GqbAYu — PolitiTweet.org

Connecticut’s minimum wage will increase this Friday, July 1st, to $14 per hour — one of the best paying minimum wages in the nation. We value our workers and what they do. That's why they're getting this pay raise and a historic boost to the state's Earned Income Tax Credit. https://t.co/wVQkX3b6qE — PolitiTweet.org

Companies relocate for a variety of reasons: labor, logistics, taxes, etc. But in a post-Roe America, don’t discount shared values. CT has a competitive advantage with our values. Folks know we won’t waver on reproductive rights as long as I’m governor. https://t.co/seIOysD85u — PolitiTweet.org
