Sen. Lesser Re-Appointed Chair of Human Services, Appointed Vice-Chair of Veterans Committee
Today, Senate Leadership re-appointed State Senator Matt Lesser as Chair of the Human Services Committee, and appointed him as Vice-Chair of the Veterans Committee for the 2025-26 term.
“I have long been an advocate for the underserved in Connecticut and I am eager to continue this work as co-chair of the Human Services Committee,” said Sen. Lesser. “This session I am dedicated to tackling the high cost of prescription drug prices, investing in our state’s Medicaid system, ensuring Connecticut’s aging population has the services they need and so much more.
I am honored to join the Veterans Committee as Vice-Chair. My district is home to the Middletown State Veterans Cemetery which is the final resting place for over 16,000 Veterans and their family members, as well as the Colonel Raymond F. Gates Cemetery, located in Rocky Hill. Rocky Hill is also home to the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs, and the VA Medical Center is in Newington. I am eager to ensure Connecticut will honor the service and sacrifices of our veterans, both those still with us and those who have passed on.”
“Senator Lesser is known for being a strong voice for the most vulnerable in our state,” said Senate President Martin Looney. “Senator Lesser has fought to expand HUSKY coverage to children, ensure timely wheelchair repairs, address gaps in senior nutrition programs and more. I am certain that he will continue to protect the most vulnerable and ensure Connecticut works for everyone.” |
