Senator Patricia Billie Miller, D-Stamford, stood Tuesday with other Connecticut Democrats and condemned the Trump administration’s reckless decision to freeze federal aid, threatening vital programs and assistance for vulnerable communities in Connecticut and across the nation.
Senator Miller issued the following statement and appealed to Republican legislators to stand with Democrats and defend their constituents.
“Is this what ‘Make America Great Again’ looks like—families living in fear they won’t be able to put food on their tables?” Senator Miller said. “This is certainly not the America we learned about in history books, a nation that cared for the vulnerable and stood up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves. Instead, we are watching the Trump administration tear apart the principles our forefathers fought to protect. I urge my colleagues across the aisle to join us in this fight—because your constituents will feel the impact of this too. They elected you to protect their rights, and it’s our responsibility to preserve the values that truly make this country great.”
