Dec. 1, 2020
Today, State Senator Will Haskell (D-Westport) was proud to be named the Senate Chair of the Higher Education and Employment Advancement Committee for another two-year term, continuing his work as leader of the legislative group. In addition to Higher Education, Senator Haskell will continue to serve as Vice Chair of the Government Administration and Elections Committee.
"In my first term as Chair of Higher Education, the committee worked hard to move our state forward and plan for the future. Most notably, we created a debt-free community college program so that every Connecticut high school graduate can afford to pursue a degree. I am so grateful Senator Looney and Senator Duff trusted me to continue leading this vital committee," said Sen. Haskell. "In the midst of an economic crisis, fighting for higher education and employment opportunities has never been more important. I’m looking forward to what we accomplish in the months ahead.”
"In his first term, Senator Haskell found real results for Connecticut college students, also working to revamp and improve employment opportunities in the state," said State Senators Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) and Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven). "We are excited to see how much more he can accomplish with a second term leading the committee."
