Father of 3, Congressman, CCSU alum, and life-long East Hartford resident.

Proud product of public housing, public education, and public service.

This is about public housing versus private equity. We’re in this fight on behalf of the working people of this district. Trump can put me on every hit list he wants. We’ll never stop fighting.

Wishing a very happy first day of Pride Month to our LGBTQ+ family, friends, and neighbors in the First District and beyond! It’s a privilege to stand beside you. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

I know where I come from. I know what I stand for. I know why I’m in this. It was an honor to address the CT Hispanic Democratic Caucus this morning on the fight ahead.

Had a great time connecting with friends new and old at @TheOpenHearthCT's gala last night! I’m deeply grateful for their work providing food, shelter, and opportunity for men in our communities without homes.

What a joy to welcome Congressman @PabloJoseHR to Park Street last month. Together, we’re fighting for the benefits ALL Americans deserve. That means fair access to SSI, SNAP, and Medicaid in Puerto Rico, and protecting those benefits for families here in the First District.

[John Larson @JohnLarsonCT]

When we take back the House in November, we have legislation ready to go to bring down the cost of housing, healthcare, and education. I introduced the American Affordability Act to deal with ALL these pain points for the working people of this district. We’ll get it passed.

Busy, heartwarming day! Celebrated the opening of La Borichina in Hartford & stopped by Newington Senior & Disabled Center with friends Sen. Lesser & Rep. Turco to talk about making Social Security strong not just for seniors today, but for their kids and grandkids tomorrow.

Spoke with some incredible progressive leaders today about the stakes of a billionaire-bought election — dark money groups are funneling millions to move our party to the right and fulfill Trump’s wish of getting me out of Congress. But this district is not for sale.

[John Larson @JohnLarsonCT]

From East Hartford and West Hartford to Bristol, Newington, Wethersfield, and all 27 towns of the First Congressional District, it was an honor to spend Memorial Day with you. The land of the free and the home of the brave starts right here.

We the People dance bachata on Pratt St.

[John Larson @JohnLarsonCT]

I hope everyone gets some time to relax with family this Memorial Day weekend. I also hope we can take a moment to honor our fallen heroes. To every family with an empty seat at the table, we are forever grateful. May we be a country worthy of your sacrifice.

The billionaire class is spending millions against me. They want this seat controlled by corporate CEOs and dark money. But voters believe in what I've always fought for: progressive values, workers’ rights, Medicare for All, and taking on Trump & the billionaires backing him.

Former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin secured the Democratic endorsement for Connecticut’s 1st District in a historic upset to incumbent Rep. John Larson, a working-class progressive with a storied record of taking on corporate power. https://t.co/PRsCIVSc8V

It meant everything to have @jamie_raskin, who led Trump’s second impeachment in the House, stand with me in Hartford — and to build on his work when I filed articles of impeachment last month against the President. Grateful for Jamie’s leadership and honored by his support.

[John Larson @JohnLarsonCT]

I’m grateful for the support of the transit workers who keep our district moving. I always have, and always will, stand shoulder to shoulder with workers to demand the wages, benefits, protections, and dignity they’ve earned.

[John Larson @JohnLarsonCT]

Whether it's Donald Trump or union-busting employers leaving workers behind, Democrats are fired up and ready to take on their costly agenda. Proud to be in this fight with progressive leaders like William Tong and families across the First District and the state of Connecticut.

[John Larson @JohnLarsonCT]

What a great day yesterday to be at the annual Shad Derby Festival & Parade in Windsor! Enjoyed taking part in this treasured community tradition with so many friends and neighbors.

“John Larson is a fighter. He is never more fierce than when he is fighting for the working class against the billionaire class.”

Medical debt SHOULD NOT exist in the world's richest country. The ACA was a major step forward. Now Trump's cuts put millions at risk of losing coverage or being gouged by the private market. Proud to keep working with @LaurenUnderwood to keep Trump's hands OFF the ACA.
