This is how ICE treated my friend Brad Lander, the Comptroller of New York City and candidate for Mayor. In full view of cameras. Imagine what they are doing to people with no power, no voice, no lawyer, and no one paying attention. ICE is out of control. This is un-American.

[ErickRussellCT @ErickRussellCT]

I’ve worked with Brad many times. He’s principled and thoughtful. Seeing him violently arrested on fraudulent charges should alarm every American. This is a national emergency. Violence and intimidation happen when the powerful no longer fear accountability.

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Great to welcome @Tim_Walz to CT this weekend with @ChrisMurphyCT! While this election may come down to the results in a handful of states, the campaign is truly about all of us, offering a vision for the future of this country that includes opportunity and freedom for everyone.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Look who just arrived in Connecticut! (@ErickRussellCT and I served as the greeting party)

[ErickRussellCT @ErickRussellCT]

The @NorwalkDems are turning enthusiasm into action for this November’s election. Now’s the time to get involved, volunteer, and help get others engaged. The effort will be worth it.

[ErickRussellCT @ErickRussellCT]

This election is about the future. @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz share a vision for a future that includes everyone, without exception. I was proud to stand in support of their ticket today with a very enthusiastic group of @CTDems.

It’s up to us — all of us.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Thank you, @KamalaHarris, for the trust that you've placed in me.

And maybe more so, thank you for bringing back the joy.

I couldn't be prouder to be on this ticket—and to help make you the next President of the United States.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I’m Kamala Harris, and I’m running for President of the United States.

[ErickRussellCT @ErickRussellCT]

This is an unprecedented opportunity to come together to shape a future for this country that includes everyone. @KamalaHarris is the person to lead to us there.

She has the courage, qualifications, vision, and values we need in this moment to move the nation forward.

[ErickRussellCT @ErickRussellCT]

Voters are smart enough to judge candidates by their qualifications and their character. The people of CT demonstrate that over and over. To have the Chair of our state’s Republican Party resorting to lowbrow race-baiting is beyond disappointing and shouldn't be tolerated.

[ErickRussellCT @ErickRussellCT]

How are we measuring qualifications for our elected leaders? Chairman Proto's comments about Vice President Harris are despicable and we should expect leaders in Connecticut to speak with more respect and decency.

[Connecticut Public @wnpr]

The head of the Connecticut Republican Party Ben Proto said that Kamala Harris isn’t qualified to be president — or vice president — of the United States on Connecticut Public’s The Wheelhouse.

[ErickRussellCT @ErickRussellCT]

The underlying sentiment, on full display at this week’s Republican Convention, that no person of color is independently worthy of high-ranking jobs, is just racism. I’m so discouraged and disheartened that this lazy and plain-spoken bigotry is tolerated within our politics.

[Treasurer Erick Russell @TreasRussell]

Connecticut's pension funds earned returns of 12.8% in 2023. This places us among the top 27% of public pension funds across the nation.

Had a REALLY nice time emceeing the @CHET529 Dream Big awards ceremony at the @GoYardGoats stadium. 3000 kids entered the contest with essays and artwork about how to make the 🌎 a better place. The 30+ winners are awesome kids. Great to work with @ErickRussellCT!

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

The Baby Bonds program gives our young people startup capital for their lives and ultimately will help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. These funds aren't just an investment, they're a symbol of hope and a promise that everyone can make it right here in Connecticut.

[ErickRussellCT @ErickRussellCT]

Time flies. I’m immensely grateful for this opportunity to serve. Looking forward to another great year ahead.

[Treasurer Erick Russell @TreasRussell]

It’s been 1 year since I took the oath of office. Each day since, I’ve tried to repay the faith CT placed in me through the important & impactful work of the Treasurer’s Office. It’s a responsibility I never take lightly, and I’m proud of the progress we’ve made as an agency.

[Connecticut Dems @CTDems]

Roberto Alves will be the next Mayor of Danbury! This is a major pickup for Democrats.

Congrats to Roberto and the whole Danbury team!

[ErickRussellCT @ErickRussellCT]

Congrats!

[Connecticut Dems @CTDems]

Derby has FLIPPED to new a Mayor, Joe DiMartino! A big win for Valley Dems and for democracy.
