cut Energy Costs
Connecticut has the second-highest electricity rates in the continental United States. Ryan Fazio has a real plan to cut electricity bills by 20% — by ending hidden taxes, expanding reliable supply, and removing the mandates driving up costs.
cap property Taxes
Connecticut ranks as the third-highest taxed state in the nation, and residents and businesses are relocating elsewhere. Ryan’s plan would lower income taxes for every Connecticut family by $1,500 and implement property tax caps. He holds a 100% rating from the CBIA for pro-economic-growth voting and would restore the fiscal guardrails Hartford has eroded.
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY & LOCAL CONTROL
Ryan Fazio has a three-pronged approach to housing that reduces the cost of housing, allows Connecticut to grow its housing supply, and protects local control of zoning and decision-making. For eight years, Gov. Lamont has allowed Hartford bureaucrats and big developers to make decisions for municipalities over local objections and added new mandates that drive up costs for municipalities and families. Ryan’s “Grand Bargain” Plan will help Connecticut change course.
EDUCATION FUNDING & ACCESS
After eight years of Governor Lamont, our children cannot afford another four years of the status quo. Connecticut has one of the most highly educated adult populations in the country and ranks among the nation’s highest-spending states on public education, yet our reading achievement has fallen and our math achievement is barely above average. We should expect better for our kids.
Veterans
Connecticut is home to over 130,000 veterans, yet progress on veteran homelessness, healthcare access, and job training has stalled. Ryan will streamline veteran services, reduce costs, cut fees, recognize out-of-state licenses, and support employment opportunities for those who served.
Crime
Homicides, car thefts, and other serious crimes rose to unacceptable levels under the Lamont administration. Ryan’s plan reforms the 2020 anti-police legislation, closes parole loopholes for violent offenders, and reinstates proactive policing to keep our communities safe.
