Connecticut Public and the League of Women Voters of Connecticut (LWVCT) will co-produce an unprecedented series of eight debates in advance of the November 2022 elections, including debates for the statewide offices of Governor and Secretary of the State, as well as U.S. Senate and Connecticut’s five U.S. Congressional districts.

Our country’s explicitly stated values of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” and breaking the chains of tyranny was a historic first. Our country has strived to live up to its promise and create what Abraham Lincoln called a “more perfect union”, but for many of us, the recent Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade feels like that progress has been stopped dead in its tracks. We need to continue demanding a seat at the table for everyone, using every tool available to us, including our vote.
