Greetings to my friends and neighbors in Asylum Hill!
 


  

A New Challenge. A New Opportunity

By State Rep. Matt Ritter

I am pleased to share some exciting news. The Connecticut House Democrats have unanimously selected me as the next Speaker of the House of Representatives at the State Capitol.
Speaker of the House is a bipartisan office - the Speaker presides over the entire House - I will work with all members, Republicans and Democrats, as we deliberate and debate important issues over the next two years.
