Connecticut - Make It Here

Connecticut is the home of makers, creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs who make the state one of the best places in the world to live, work, and play.

The Obamas served our country with integrity and broke barriers that opened doors for all. Videos like this try to erase that progress, spreading harmful stereotypes that drive discrimination and violence. Connecticut stands firmly against racism and for dignity and respect.

CT just earned a great ranking as one of the healthiest states in the US. Access to quality care, strong health outcomes, public health awareness, and smart investments in healthcare infrastructure all add up to a better quality of life—and a competitive edge for us nationally.

From terrifying typos to soulless AI ads (like this), we’ve all seen what happens when marketing goes bad.

Reputation MADE is for communicators who’d rather build real connection than rely on content from the digital graveyard.

CT's theaters are back in the spotlight. @GoodspeedMusicl's record-breaking year proves it.

Beyond ticket sales, they fuel local restaurants, boost community energy, and remind us why life here isn’t just lived—it’s performed, with heart, humor, and a full house.

💪Exciting news!

CT just ranked #6 in the nation for raising a family by Consumer Affairs.

It’s easy to see why: We’re also top 2 in happiness and public schools, top 5 in healthcare and safety, and among the best for food, museums, and hiking.

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

Cute. Here in CT, we don’t need the presidential pen. Our claim to the pizza crown is baked into every crust

Work on better dough-mestic policy and try declaring New Jersey the “Pork Roll State.”

Unfortunately, it looks like we are headed for a federal government shutdown. I’ve met with agency leaders to prepare and ensure that, for the time being, those who count on programs like SNAP or WIC can continue to do so.

Tomorrow morning, we’ll discuss those efforts and more.
