The 6-Point Platform

A plan built at kitchen tables, not in committee rooms.

Six commitments, in plain language. No riders, no late-night votes nobody read — just what Lee will fight for on day one in Hartford.

01

End the Affordability Crisis

Connecticut families are being taxed and priced out of their own state — while Hartford sits on surpluses instead of delivering relief.

  • Enact permanent, broad-based middle-class tax cuts, funded by real spending cuts, not gimmicks.
  • Impose a strict spending cap tied to inflation and population growth.
  • Ban hidden fee and tax hikes buried in budget implementer bills.

Every dollar Hartford spends should have to prove it helps a working family — or it doesn't get spent.

02

Stand With Law Enforcement — Without Apology

The 2020 police accountability law turned our officers into suspects instead of protectors, and it's driving good men and women out of the profession.

  • Restore real legal protections for officers acting in good faith.
  • Fund recruitment and retention with tuition assistance, housing support, and competitive pay.
  • Restore operational flexibility for pursuits and searches when public safety demands it.
  • Guarantee towns a seat at the table before Hartford dictates new mandates from the top down.
03

Cut the Waste. Restore the Trust.

Decades of one-party rule have buried Connecticut under duplicative agencies and boards while core services — roads, schools, public safety — fight for scraps. Major decisions get buried in implementer bills where voters can't see them.

  • Mandate an independent, line-by-line audit of every state agency and board.
  • Sunset what doesn't work.
  • Ban unrelated riders from budget bills.
  • Require public hearings for high-impact legislation.

Send the savings back to property tax relief — where it belongs.

04

Lower Energy Costs. Guarantee Reliability.

Connecticut families pay some of the highest electric rates in America — inflated by hidden public-benefit charges buried in every monthly bill.

  • Move those charges off electric bills and into the general budget, where legislators — not utilities — are accountable for them.
  • Pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy, including local nuclear power at Millstone.
  • Modernize the grid so reliability and affordability aren't a trade-off.
05

Fight for Small Business, Jobs, and Growth

Connecticut ranks near the bottom on business climate, and it's pushing employers and young talent across our borders.

  • Eliminate the business entity tax for small employers.
  • Streamline regulatory filings.
  • Direct real economic development support to the industries that already anchor this district — the submarine industrial base, maritime trades, defense, tourism, and shoreline businesses.

The industries that built this region can rebuild it again.

06

Protect Seniors in Their Homes

Long-time senior homeowners are being priced out by rising property assessments — and towns can't afford to lose their tax base either.

  • Create a “Senior Stay-in-Place” property tax deferral for qualified homeowners 65+ on fixed incomes.
  • Let them freeze their annual property tax bill instead of chasing every new assessment.
  • Keep towns whole by preserving their long-term tax base.

Seniors gain immediate, guaranteed housing security. Towns keep their footing.

This isn't a campaign about Lee. It's about whether Connecticut still belongs to the people who built it.
