Together we can change Hartford & save Connecticut
Connecticut has the second-highest utility rates in the continental United States. Democrats' policies in Hartford have contributed to these sky-high electric rates by imposing $1 billion in 'public benefits' taxes on our residents. Ryan has led the fight to lower electricity costs, and his plan would eliminate the public benefits charge for Connecticut families.
Learn MoreConnecticut 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.
Connecticut spends hundreds of millions of dollars on illegal immigration, and sanctuary state policies protect individuals convicted of felonies from immigration enforcement. Ryan will reduce taxpayer spending on illegal immigration and reverse the 2019 sanctuary state policies to protect public safety and taxpayers.
Ryan advocates for local control while improving housing affordability. His approach reduces construction costs and enables middle-income housing — including accessory dwelling units and mixed-use residential areas — while reducing licensing taxes on trade workers and making it easier to enter apprenticeships.
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.
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.
Student outcomes have declined more steeply in Connecticut than nationally, hitting low-income students hardest. Ryan volunteered as a tutor in inner-city charter schools for seven years and supports school choice — prioritizing students, parents, and teachers over educational bureaucracy.
