Jennifer Leeper for State Representative

Fairfield & Southport

It has been an honor serving as your State Representative over the last four years. I worked hard to pass meaningful legislation to improve our community, state, and quality of life. I am proud to have passed budgets that cut taxes and invested in education, seniors, small businesses, and middle-class families.

We've achieved some major accomplishments together:

  • Reformed the Siting Council to improve public notice and engagement, provide robust financial analysis, and enforce penalties on utilities
  • Prevented school redistricting by pausing the racial imbalance law
  • Improved 8-30g law to award points for all middle housing in an "as of right" zone, making a moratorium easier to achieve

Over the past four years representing our community, I have learned that people need each other; we crave connection, belonging, and understanding. We are all exhausted by the toxicity of politics and want leaders who are committed to bringing us together, finding common ground, working hard, and being honest. These principles have been my guiding beacon as a legislator, and I promise to continue to center them in my work. We have achieved many successes together that reflect our commitment to investing in people and families, ensuring Fairfield and Connecticut remain vibrant and prosperous. I am proud of the meaningful relief we have delivered during challenging times. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we can keep moving forward and build a brighter future for us all.

I look forward to earning another two years as your State Representative.
