Rachel Khanna (Democratic, Independent)
Support and strengthen Connecticut’s public education system to ensure that we nurture a generation ready to tackle the challenges of the future.
Support legislation that will continue the economic trajectory we’ve been on by attracting companies to Connecticut, and ensuring that our infrastructure is able to meet our current and future needs.
Rachel Khanna (Democratic, Independent)
I will be a champion of our public education system and help ensure that each child can reach their full potential. I will fight for funding for our public schools, and for early childhood and mental health programs.
I will seek creative solutions and funding to invest in infrastructure and transportation, which will make Connecticut even more attractive to businesses and families and better protect us against future challenges. With the ever growing threat of climate change, we need to do all we can to protect and safeguard our environment and I will work with my fellow representatives on bold approaches to mitigating that urgent threat.
I will prioritize efforts to safeguard women’s reproductive health; maintain and strengthen our gun violence prevention laws; protect and advance voting rights and study potential voting reforms. We must also work harder to safeguard and advance gains made by the LGBTQ+ communities and communities of color, which are also at risk.
