Senator Patricia Billie Miller, D-Stamford, will serve another term as the Senate Chair of the legislature’s Banking Committee and will take on the role of Co-Chair of the General Obligation Bonding Subcommittee, Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney and Majority Leader Bob Duff announced Friday.
Senator Miller’s appointment to the bonding subcommittee will allow her to draw on her previous experience as House Chair of the panel during her service in the Connecticut House of Representatives.
Additionally, Senator Miller will remain Vice Chair of both the Aging Committee and the Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committee for the 2025-2026 legislative sessions.
“During my tenure as Senate Chair of the Banking Committee, we have made great strides modernizing Connecticut’s approach to financial services and spurring innovation in the FinTech sector. I am grateful to Senators Looney and Duff for their faith in my ability to build on that progress,” Senator Miller said. “Likewise, I am proud to maintain key leadership posts on the Aging Committee, where our work to protect seniors has become more important than ever, and on the Finance Committee, which will play a pivotal role in shaping the next two-year budget to reflect Connecticut’s priorities and values.”
“I particularly welcome the opportunity to once again lead the General Obligation Bonding Subcommittee, where I look forward to leveraging my prior experience as the panel’s House Chair to guide strategic investments that will strengthen communities across Connecticut,” Senator Miller said.
“Senator Miller has demonstrated remarkable leadership and dedication, both in the Banking Committee and through her work on the Aging and Finance Committees,” Senator Looney said. “I’m pleased that she will continue in these key roles, and I look forward to the important contributions she will make as Co-Chair of the General Obligation Bonding Subcommittee. Her experience will guide Connecticut toward investments that benefit our communities for years to come.”
Senator Miller has represented Stamford and parts of Darien in the state Senate since winning a special election in 2021. Prior to her election to the Senate, she served in the House of Representatives from 2009 to 2021, representing the145th House District.
