Get to know Kristen Dudanowicz, candidate for Rocky Hill’s Board of Education. Ask questions about her policies and vision for Rocky Hilll!

“I’m running for the Board of Education because I believe every child in Rocky Hill deserves access to a high-quality, well-resourced education—and right now, that’s being threatened by years of deferred infrastructure investments and difficult budget cuts. We’re asking our educators to do more with less, and our students are feeling the impact in overcrowded classrooms, aging facilities, and reduced supports.

“With a career focused on building and strengthening education systems across Connecticut, I understand how to navigate complex challenges and bring people together to solve them.”

Address will be provided upon RSVP.

John Larson Telephone Town Hall
2025-06-17 08:00 - 17:00
From the Offlce of John Larson:

Dear Friends,

I will be hosting a telephone town hall Wednesday, June 18th, at 5:00 PM. You can register for the event HERE.

House Republicans voted to pass President Trump’s bill to defund PBS and NPR. This could grind PBS Kids programming to a halt and shutter local affiliates across the country. I voted no and will continue to fight to protect public media.

As I continue to fight to enhance Social Security, I am also working to keep your private information safe. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court ruled to allow Elon Musk’s ‘DOGE’ access to sensitive information at the Social Security Administration, including Social Security numbers, income histories, and medical records. I introduced legislation to stop this breach of privacy.

Additionally, last month, House Republicans voted to pass their tax plan by one vote – a bill that cuts Medicaid and SNAP nutrition benefits for millions of Americans and could lead to $500 billion in cuts to Medicare in order to pay for tax cuts that disproportionately benefitthe wealthy.

It also does not include President Trump’s promise to stop taxing Social Security. Under their plan, 24 million Americans will still pay taxes on their benefits. I opposed these devastating cuts and unfulfilled promises and am focused on not only protecting but strengthening programs like Medicare and Social Security.

As your representative, I want to hear from you. I look forward to discussing these issues and more and answering some of your questions on Wednesday.

You can register for the telephone town hall HERE.

No Kings Protest - Middletown
2025-06-14 12:00 - 13:30 | Middletown City Hall, 245 deKoven Drive,, Middletown, Connecticut, United States
From No Kings:

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

About this event

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information.
