State Rep. Simanski Sworn In for Fourth Term

From the Connecticut General Assembly: State Representative Bill Simanski (R-62) took the oath of office beginning a fourth term as State Representative serving the 62nd assembly district, representing the towns of Barkhamsted, Granby, Hartland and New Hartford.

“I am humbled that our community has continued to support me as I represent the 62nd district in the Capitol” said Simanski. “With a $1.5 billion deficit, taxpayer flight and a poor economic outlook, Connecticut faces major obstacles this legislative session. I am eager to tackle these challenges as the 62ndDistrict’s voice in the legislature.” Representative Simanski noted that the Connecticut Republicans are in newly charted waters as they have the most representation in the legislature than they have had in a few decades. This balance will encourage legislators to work across party lines to solve problems and collaboratively come up with solutions.

Rep. Simanski was named Assistant Republican Leader by House Minority Leader Themis Klarides and will continue as the Republican Caucus’ Ranking Member of the Banking Committee. He will also serve on the Planning & Development and Screening Committees.

“I am honored to have been appointed House Republican Assistant Leader and Ranking Member of the Banking Committee” Simanski noted. “I will do my best to help lead our caucus as we work with our partners across the aisle to make Connecticut better.”

The 2017 regular legislative session is scheduled to run from January 4th to June 7th.
