Legislative Primaries | August 9

As voters across Connecticut head to the polls next week to vote in the August 9 primaries, we want to make sure you know where the candidates stand.

Elections for state positions like those on your primary ballot will have wide-reaching impacts on educators and public education.

To assist in this process, CEA is providing you with the questionnaire responses for the candidates that will be appearing on your ballot. See below to view completed questionnaires and find out where the candidates stand on issues of importance to CEA .
