Congressman Larson: Virtual Town Hall on the Government Shutdown
2025-10-09 18:00 - 19:00 | Connecticut
From the website of Congressman Larson:

**Register for the virtual town hall here**

Dear Friends,

I will be hosting a virtual town hall on Thursday, October 9th at 6:00 PM to discuss the ongoing government shutdown and how my office can assist you during this uncertain time. You can register to attend HERE and submit any questions you may have HERE.

This shutdown began after the Senate rejected a government funding plan last week. Democrats in the House and Senate came together to support an effort to keep government open, reverse health care cuts President Trump signed into law, and extend health care tax credits that protect families from rising premiums.

Leading up to the shutdown, President Trump encouraged Republicans in Congress to ‘not even bother’ negotiating. Speaker Johnson ended up canceling votes for the week – leaving no opportunity to come to an agreement.

I will keep working to re-open government and come to an agreement to protect access to health care and lower costs. I look forward to discussing these important issues with you. I hope to have you on the line.

To submit a question in advance, CLICK HERE.

Register to attend HERE.

My office has also prepared a web page with Frequently Asked Questions about the shutdown. You can always contact us at 860-278-8888.

Virtual Town Hall Via Zoom, register HERE Thursday, October 9th at 6:00 PM If the Zoom webinar reaches capacity, you will be redirected to a livestream.

No Kings II Hartford
2025-10-18 14:00 - 17:00 | State Capitol Building, 210 Capitol Ave, Hartford, Connecticut, 06067, United States
From the organizer’s website:

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.

“Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.”

Join Congressman John Larson at an in-person Public Forum at West Hartford Town Hall
2025-12-22 18:00 - 19:00 | West Hartford Town Hall, 50 Main Street, West Hartford, Connecticut, 06157, United States
Congressman Larson will discuss the following:

House Republicans voted to advance a health care plan that does not extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits that more than 100,000 Connecticut residents rely on.

Four Republicans joined our effort to force a vote on a three-year extension of the credits, but Speaker Johnson sent the House home for the holidays, postponing that vote until January. Without action, some families could see their costs double.

Families are getting squeezed by rising costs everywhere from energy costs to grocery bills. According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average family will see $1,700 in additional costs annually thanks to Trump’s tariffs. Prices of popular holiday gifts have soared compared to last year – increasing by an average of 26%.

The Congressman along with some other Democratic colleagues introduced a bill to end these costly tariffs now and lower costs.

CT Congressman John Larson hosts his first Telephone Town Hall of 2026!
2026-01-08 18:00 - 19:00 | Connecticut
The Congressman will host a telephone Town Hall to discuss skyrocketing health care costs, Trump’s military operation in Venezuela, and his priorities for 2026.

From the desk of Congressman Larson:

Before the holidays, four Republicans joined our effort to force a vote on a Democratic-led bill to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits 20 million Americans rely on. They expired January 1st, and already, families across the country are seeing rising costs. This week, the House will vote to restore these credits and take action to lower costs.

In addition to the cost of health care, I know many of you are concerned by the Trump Administration’s actions in Venezuela, including the arrest and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro this past weekend. I oppose this military action and demand accountability and transparency now before the U.S. becomes entangled in another forever war. As the new year begins, I remain focused on protecting access to health care, lowering costs, and holding the Trump Administration accountable. I look forward to having you on the line to hear from you and discuss these important issues.
