The 41st annual Boom Box Parade was a blast—and a perfect way to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Even in the heat, the streets were filled with music, smiles, and community, reminding us what our country is all about. Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🎆

🇺🇸

Here in Connecticut, we have a long history of courage, resilience, and fighting for what's right. These values are just important today as they were 250 Years ago. Have a fun and safe weekend! Stay hydrated today!

As we look back at Pride Month, we’re reminded that Pride is about more than just the celebrations, it’s about unity, strength, and the ongoing fight for equality. The work continues, and we’ll keep standing for dignity, inclusion, and equal rights every day. Pride Always! 🏳️‍🌈

I’m proud to be endorsed by the Association of Commuter Rail Employees. I’m excited to continue to work together with the dedicated men and women who keep our commuter rail system running safely and reliably!

Our Connecticut high school seniors deserve a head start on higher education—no matter their ZIP code or family income. My new education proposal ensures every senior has access to a free college course through Charter Oak State College, helping them prepare for the future.

GAME ON! We have our Round of 32 - here is my FIFA 2026 World Cup Bracket. Who do you have winning it all?

They call it the Greatest Show on Earth for a reason! Had the absolute best time at the Barnum Festival Great Street Parade today. Perfect weather, incredible crowd, and pure fun. Thanks to everyone who came out and joined the spectacle!

This year, Connecticut voters will be able to vote by no-excuse absentee ballot! You can now request your ballot here: nedlamont.com/absentee

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 478 – heavy equipment operators, mechanics, and construction workers who build, maintain, and modernize Connecticut’s vital roads, bridges, utilities, and infrastructure.

I am honored to receive the endorsement of ctaflcio.bsky.social, a federation of hundreds of local unions representing 250,000 union members across the state of Connecticut.

ONE JOB SHOULD BE ENOUGH I’m proud to be endorsed by Unite Here Local 34, which represents Yale’s clerical and technical workforce, covering over 4,000 administrative, library, and clinical staff members.

“For Connecticut's building trades, what matters most is having leaders who listen to workers and follow through on their commitments. Governor Lamont has consistently demonstrated that partnership.”

Last nights @ctdems.bsky.social New Blue BBQ was a blast! So great to get together and hear from so many young leaders who are eager to keep our state moving forward! Thank you all for coming out and let's keep making progress together. #TeamLamont

We’ve delivered real progress for our workers—paid family leave, higher wages, and stronger protections. We will continue to defend workers’ rights and the right to organize here in Connecticut, because our workforce is the backbone of our state’s future.

My statement on the four year anniversary of the Dobbs decision.

No one should have to choose between their health and their financial future. Medical debt can follow families for years, which is why my administration has cancelled $513 million of medical debt for 252,000 residents across the state, providing relief and a worry free path for recovery.

The wheels don't turn without the dedicated workers of @atucomms.bsky.social My commitment remains unchanged: securing the robust support, funding, and protections our transit workforce needs to keep our residents moving forward safely. Beyond proud to have their endorsement.

I'm honored to have the endorsement of the hardworking men and women of the @atucomms.bsky.social

Something’s happening.

It was an honor to attend the Greater Bridgeport NAACP’s Juneteenth celebration today. Today, we celebrate freedom and resilience while recommitting to the ongoing work of building a more just, equal, and bright Connecticut for everyone.

4 years ago, I was proud to sign into law a bill that recognized Juneteenth as a holiday here in the state of Connecticut. Today, we continue the tradition of honoring freedom, resilience, and liberation — Happy Juneteenth! #Juneteenth 📸: Daniel Passapera/Special to The Day

For too long, large corporations have boosted profits with low wages and few benefits, shifting costs onto taxpayers. Not anymore. Today, we unveiled a proposal that levels the playing field, protects public dollars, and reinvests more funding to lower healthcare premiums for our middle class.

Large corporations subsidizing their payrolls is not just unfair to Connecticut families; it’s unfair to the thousands of responsible local businesses that do the right thing and invest in their workforce.

Let’s keep building a better Connecticut for our families and future generations—together. #TeamLamont

Who works around the clock to keep our lights on? The men and women of I.B.E.W. Local 42 Proud to join them this morning and tour their state-of-the-art training facility. Through rain, snow, and storms, they always have our back—and I’ll always have theirs.

Here in Connecticut, we’ll continue leading the way with common-sense gun safety laws because they save lives. Measures like banning convertible pistols, expanding access to mental health support, and strengthening gun safety protections help keep our communities safe and our families protected.

There are reports ICE agents in Connecticut are refusing to unmask. Government agents should never have to hide who they are. I have fought to protect our state and will continue to do everything in my power to keep our communities safe.

The future is here, and Connecticut is ready for it. We're embracing the benefits AI and social media can bring while putting commonsense safeguards in place to protect children and give families peace of mind.

A weekend packed with culture, pride, and community. From Glastonbury’s Pride Festival, to New Britain’s Little Poland Festival, to the CT Dems Women’s Leadership Brunch, and the Danbury Greek Festival it was great to connect with so many incredible people across our state. #TeamLamont

Another strong Saturday on the doors with Team Lamont, talking to voters, hearing their priorities, and sharing how we plan to build on our progress. Our team is energized, growing, and ready to keep the momentum going!

This week, I unveiled a major plan to hold utilities accountable and lower energy costs for all Connecticut families right at Eversource's front door. It's a bold plan that's grabbing headlines across the news:

We’re now 60 days away from primary day Election Day on Tuesday, August 11! Have you made your plan to vote? Nedlamont.com/vote

Connecticut deserves energy costs that are fair, affordable, and accountable. That’s why I’m proposing sweeping utility reforms to strengthen oversight, hold utilities accountable, and lower costs across our state. Read my full plan: www.nedlamont.com/priorities/

Today, we are taking our fight for reform straight to the front door of Connecticut’s utility companies. This new plan doubles down on our commitment to put ratepayers first and drive down your bills.

Visiting Three Little Bears Daycare was a powerful reminder that investing in early childhood education is investing in Connecticut's future. We're raising caregiver wages. We're saving parents thousands. And we're making sure Connecticut children get the head start they deserve.

We've got a fight on our hands! 🥊🥊 Make no mistake, we are standing up for Connecticut, and we're ready to take on corporate greed, healthcare, and the Trump administration. Learn more about the fight ahead at nedlamont.com/fight

Team Lamont had an amazing canvass launch weekend across the entire state! Thank you for all of the support from New Britain, Norwich, Stamford, West Haven, and East Hartford. Let’s keep building!

Come with me for a walk down Waterbury's South Main Street where I got to stop by some incredible local businesses and meet the amazing people behind them! #TeamLamont

All over the state, volunteers are knocking on their neighbors doors because they understand that a vote for Governor Lamont is a vote for lowering costs for families, growing the economy, and protecting our communities from the Trump administration. And we need YOU to join us!

On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we took meaningful action to strengthen gun safety by signing House Bill 5043, joining youth advocates for a roundtable discussion, and standing alongside advocates at Newtown’s National Gun Violence Awareness Day rally.

On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we're reminded that keeping people safe requires action, not just words. That's why we've strengthened Connecticut's gun safety laws, invested in gun violence prevention, and taken steps to keep dangerous weapons off our streets.

Here in Connecticut, we’re ensuring that all voters can vote via absentee ballots and can vote without fear or federal overreach.This law has already gone into effect and you can vote via absentee for the August 11th Primary Election and the November 3rd General Election. #votect

Since taking office we’ve raised the minimum wage, lowered electric rates, backfilled federal cuts, and cut taxes for the middle class. As Trump policies continue to drive up prices, we’ll keep doing everything we can to make Connecticut more affordable for our residents.

Actions matter. When the challenge is feeding families, results matter. We just announced $8.5 million in grocery assistance for Connecticut residents losing SNAP benefits due to federal rule changes. Connecticut will continue to make sure families are not left behind.

As Trump’s decisions continue to drive up costs, we will continue to step up. This new investment will provide 25,000+ residents with food support to get through tough times. #TeamLamont
