Connecticut has some of the highest electricity prices in the country, and that burden falls hardest on low-income families and communities of color. At the same time, we have a real opportunity to build a cleaner, cheaper, and more democratic energy system.

Connecticut is already a leader in offshore wind, solar, and fuel cell manufacturing. By expanding these industries and modernizing our electric grid, we can meet the Governor's goal of 100% renewable electricity by 2040 — while creating thousands of good-paying jobs.

To get there, this platform supports:

• Stopping the construction of new fossil fuel power plants

• Expanding offshore wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources

• Enabling Community Choice Aggregation so communities control their own energy

• Investing in public transportation and coastal resiliency

• Ensuring a just transition that prioritizes low-income communities, communities of color, and displaced workers

Connecticut has the tools to lead. With the right investments and community ownership, our energy system can be cleaner, more affordable, and built to last.

Fix Educational Cost Sharing, Fund Our Communities and Schools

Every student deserves a high-quality, safe education — regardless of their family's income. But right now, too many Connecticut students face barriers to opportunity because school funding is unfair and unequal.

To fix this, this platform supports:

• Paying school staff fairly — educators, nurses, and support staff should all earn a living wage and work in safe environments

• Supporting the whole student — students learn better when they aren't struggling with hunger, unstable housing, or over-policing; we need a social safety net that lets kids focus on school

• Equitable funding for ALL our students — by fully funding the Educational Cost Sharing (ECS) formula and Alliance Grant communities like New Haven, and reducing the reliance on local property taxes to fund schools, we can make sure every school has the resources it needs

When we invest in our schools, we invest in our future. Every child in Connecticut — no matter their zip code — deserves the opportunity to succeed.

Make Corporations Pay Their Fair Share

Big tech companies like Facebook and Netflix, along with major pharmaceutical corporations, have found ways to avoid paying taxes — even when they profit directly from Connecticut residents. Meanwhile, hardworking Connecticut families pay their full share every year.

Here's how it works: corporations shelter their profits in overseas tax havens, avoiding both federal and state taxes. Pharmaceutical companies develop drugs in the U.S., then move the rights overseas to avoid taxes while still selling those drugs here at high prices. Tech giants collect data and run ads targeting Connecticut residents — but pay nothing on that income.

The good news? Connecticut doesn't have to wait for Washington to act. Our state taxes corporations differently than the federal government, which means we have the power to close these loopholes ourselves. And the Supreme Court has already confirmed these fixes are constitutional.

This platform supports:

• Taxing the in-state activity of multinational corporations fairly

• Adopting a Digital Services Tax on tech giants profiting from Connecticut residents

• Closing loopholes that let corporations avoid paying what they owe

It's time corporations play by the same rules as everyone else.
