Danbury State Representative David Arconti has been named Chairman of the legislature’s Energy and Technology Committee.  He was also re-appointed as a member of the Environment Committee and General Law Committee. 

Arconti says he looks forward to building on work that the Energy Committee has done over the past sessions to move Connecticut forward.  He will begin his fourth term and will be sworn in Wednesday.

Arconti will work alongside first-term legislator Rep-Elect Raghib Allie-Brennan of Bethel who was appointed as Vice-Chair.  The Committee has worked on issues concerning net neutrality, climate change planning and resiliency, development of sustainable and equitable funding for energy efficiency, and severe storm response plans and strategic communications.
