State Senator Julie Kushner is seeking a third term in the 24th District.  The Danbury Democrat and retired union organizer first took office in 2019.  Some of the items she campaigned on, paid family and medical leave and raising the minimum wage, have been implemented.  In a new term, Kushner says she wants to make health care more affordable and accessible, bring in funding for the schools and address housing affordability.  When Connecticut’s new voting district maps go into effect next year, the 24th District will no longer include Sherman and part of Bethel., but is gaining a portion of Ridgefield.
