Today’s Greek Festival in Bridgeport and Lebanese Festival in Danbury are great examples of cultural celebrations that make our state unique and special. Amy and I had a great time enjoying these rich histories with all of you today. Thank you to Former Mayor Dean Esposito and everyone for such a warm welcome! 🇬🇷🇱🇧🇺🇸

🚨CANDIDATES WANTED!

Republicans need candidates in the [pictured below] state House districts and the following Senate districts:

1, 5, 10, 11, 13, 23, 27

If you or someone you know is willing to step up in a big way or small to run, please reach out via email (info[AT]ryanfazio[DOT]com) or to your local RTC or comment below. We need to challenge in every district and we need to give voters a choice everywhere.

While I am newly the Republican nominee, I will do whatever I can to build our party to fight everywhere and give voters a choice.

Winning does not look like winning one race or election. It looks like winning the most votes we can everywhere over the long term. Winning sometimes means bringing up the rest of the ticket. The worst thing is not losing a single race—it’s giving up. We must never give up!

So sad to hear of the passing of Nic Tarzia, who gave a lot to our Stamford community. His whole family is in our prayers. RIP, Nic.

“His impact on the Stamford community will not be forgotten," Mayor Caroline Simmons said.

Come with me as we visit a few of the local businesses that keep communities across our state running! 🍽️🚜☕️

We had a great trip through the Northwest Hills and Farmington Valley yesterday visiting some wonderful local businesses to hear their concerns.

🍽️ Tina’s Cafe 38, Torrington
🚜 Gresczyk Farms, New Hartford
☕️ BeanZ & Co., Avon

A special thank you to Mike Criss for State Senate for showing us just a few of the many reasons why the 8th District is so special.

Each of these small businesses are more than jobs and sales, but part of what makes their community special. Thanks to them for taking the time with Mike and me to let us know about the challenges business owners across our state are facing, including rising energy bills and costly red tape.

🐴Amy says I need to stop horsing around on the campaign trail, but we are having too much fun.

📸 from a great visit to Grijalva Cattle Co. in North Stonington last week. We are blessed with great farmers in this state! Now we need state leadership that will have their back.

Connecticut deserves a better energy plan than “turning off the lights.”

I’m running for governor to eliminate every hidden tax in our electricity bills, limit energy company profits, and reduce electricity rates by 20 percent.

You shouldn’t be expected to “turn off the lights” due to high energy costs. We should expect state leaders to turn down the costs.

🇺🇸 On Memorial Day, we reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

It was great to be in eastern Connecticut yesterday for a patriotic-packed day as we approach America 250! First, the Lebanon Memorial Day Parade followed by a special visit to the Jonathan Trumbull War office. Next it was over to Willington Day and ending at the Mansfield Drive-In for the CT Modified Car Meet/Show. Thank you to all who joined us and beat the rain for the beginning of such a special weekend honoring those who have sacrificed everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸

📉 200 new layoffs is Ned Lamont’s economic failures on full display, as energy rates increase and jobs are leaving Connecticut this week.

As governor, I’ll turn the moving vans around, bring jobs back to our state, and we’ll make Connecticut more affordable for all.
