ATTORNEY GENERAL TONG STATEMENT ON CHALLENGE TO CONNECTICUT ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN
Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong released the following statement in response to a federal lawsuit filed by the National Association for Gun Rights challenging Connecticut’s assault weapons ban. “This challenge to our post-Sandy Hook assault weapons ban is exactly the kind of public safety threat that we anticipated when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Bruen. Connecticut cannot and will not allow these weapons of war back into our communities. Not after Sandy Hook, after Uvalde, after Buffalo, Parkland, Orlando, and far too many more senseless tragedies. We need strong, commonsense gun safety laws now more than ever. Connecticut’s assault weapons ban is lawful, has already withstood legal challenge, and is strongly supported by the vast majority…

Stefanowski’s Share Tax Information
Branford, CT - In releasing three years of tax return information today, Bob Stefanowski and his wife Amy have put forth the most comprehensive personal tax return release by a sitting governor, or candidate for governor, in recent memory. "By releasing three years of joint tax returns today, the Stefanowski's are providing a refreshing level of transparency to the people of Connecticut, one which Governor Lamont and his wife have repeatedly failed to match,” said campaign spokeswoman Sarah Clark. "Sadly, Governor and Mrs. Lamont continue to hide details of their personal finances from the public, including the profits they reaped from $25 million dollars in no-bid taxpayer-funded contracts doled out to companies owned by the Lamont family. The people of Connecticut deserve better.”…
