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."

In case you didn’t hear, this year the State of Connecticut institutes Early Voting. This is new to all of us, so we wanted to share some helpful information with you so you are informed. Download Early Voting Flyer
History: Last June Governor Ned Lamont signed legislation into law creating a system of early voting for general elections, special elections, and primaries in Connecticut. The legislation, Public Act 23-5, requires 14 days of early voting for general elections, 7 days of early voting for most primaries, and 4 days of early voting for special elections and presidential preference primaries.
What you need to know:
• You can now cast your vote in person prior to Election Day for the April Presidential Preference Primary, the August State Primary, and the November General Election.
• To participate in early voting, go to the Essex Town Hall, check in, present the Register with your valid ID as usual, and they will confirm your registration and check you off the voter listing.
• You are presented with a ballot to complete, and then you will place it in an envelope. The sealed envelope is then dropped into a locked ballot box. Your ballot is processed (run through the tabulator) on Election Day along with all the same day voting, and absentee ballots.
