“This session will see the closest margins between the majority and minority in recent memory. I need a talented and dedicated team of leaders to assist me in working with the majority party. Gail will be a key player in the House, making sure the General Assembly works to relieve the undue stress that government places on Connecticut families and businesses.”
“With near parity between the parties, this is a historic moment for the state of Connecticut,” Lavielle said.
“There has never been a better opportunity to work across the aisle to develop policies that will restore Connecticut’s financial health, reduce the tax pressure on families and businesses, improve the economic climate and infrastructure, and preserve essential services."
"I believe that these roles and appointments position me well to focus on the issues that are most important to Norwalk, Westport, and Wilton, and to do so with the authority that comes with a leadership role," said Lavielle.
The House of Representatives has 72 Republicans and 78 Democrats.
