Senator Hochadel Reappointed Chair of the Aging Committee

Senator Jan Hochadel, D-Meriden, has been reappointed to serve another term as Chair of the Aging Committee and Vice Chair of the Environment Committee, Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney and Majority Leader Bob Duff announced Friday.

As Chair of the Aging Committee, Senator Hochadel will continue to lead efforts aimed at improving the lives of Connecticut’s seniors. She will build on the committee’s recent successes, including the passage of key nursing home reforms that enhance state oversight and expand access to high-quality home-based care, enabling more seniors to age in place with dignity.

“I’m proud of the work we’ve done on the Aging Committee, particularly our efforts to strengthen nursing home oversight and expand access to home-based care,” Senator Hochadel said. “There’s more to do, and I’m grateful to Senators Looney and Duff for their trust in me to continue this important work. I’m also eager to maintain my leadership role on the Environment Committee, where we’ll focus on combating climate change and implementing policies that protect Connecticut’s environment for all residents.”

“Senator Hochadel has shown strong leadership and has advanced meaningful reforms for Connecticut’s seniors,” Senator Looney said. “Her efforts on the Aging Committee, particularly in expanding access to home-based care and improving nursing home oversight, have begun to have a direct impact on the lives of many of our residents. I’m confident she will continue driving progress on both the Aging and Environment Committees.”

Senator Hochadel was first elected to the state Senate in 2022. She represents the 13th Senate District, which includes Meriden and parts of Cheshire, Middletown, and Middlefield.
