June 27, 2025 - State Representative Raghib Allie-Brennan (D-2nd District - Bethel) was arrested for shoplifting at a local Target store. “While we fully support Representative Allie-Brennan’s due process and the presumption of innocence that all of us enjoy under our Constitutions, it is regrettable that, once again, a Democrat member of the Connecticut General Assembly has found themselves in handcuffs and subject to criminal prosecution,” said Connecticut Republican State Chairman Ben Proto.

Governor Lamont is pushing House Bill 5057, which would make “drive-only” licenses provided to illegal immigrants indistinguishable from the licenses issued to legal citizens, going as far as removing the “not for voting purposes” language on the drive-only licenses.
CT GOP Chairman Ben Porto’s statement on anti-semitism and Palestinian protests:
"We will not be silent about what is taking place at Yale. To see college students at one of Connecticut and the word's top universities openly sympathizing with a terrorist group and committing acts of violence against Jewish students is disgraceful. Anyone who commits these violent acts must be criminally prosecuted. Free speech does not mean freedom to engage in violence against a particular group. These acts are hate crimes and should be treated as such by our justice system. In the wake of the horrific terror attacks on October 7th, the current hostages in Palestine, and acts of antisemitism across the country, all Americans must be united against terrorists."
“Connecticut Republicans stand with Israel and her allies in condemning these acts and demand action from the Yale administration and from Connecticut's criminal justice system."
