As members of the CT Legislative Black & Puerto Rican Caucus, we denounce the Supreme Court's ban on race-conscious admissions. This ruling undermines equality, disregards marginalized communities, and ignores persistent disparities. #Equality #Inclusivity #SupremeCourtDecision

Thank you for your tireless advocacy & leadership.
The @LGSusanB first spotlight this #BlackHistoryMonth is Quentin “Q” Williams. Williams was a tireless champion of education as well as racial equality and human rights. He was the first Black person to be elected to represent the 100th house district in the CGA.
Meet your Democratic State Senators! (Part 1)
Meet your Democratic State Senator! (Part 2)
People have asked how you can help support Q's family and legacy. We have set up TWO funds: The first at @LibertyBank_CT helps his wife Carrissa with immediate needs. The second, the Q Fund, is a 501(c)3 fund we are establishing at the Middlesex County Community Foundation.
This is a heartbreaking loss for our state. Quentin ‘Q’ Williams was a lifelong resident of Middletown, and as the people of this state will learn in the coming days, he was a builder—of policy, of bipartisan relationships, and of lasting friendships. wfsb.com/2023/01/05/col…
You were larger than life with a smile than can light up any dark room. You were an incredible public servant but an even better person. Thoughts and prayers to Q's family and friends. Absolutely heartbroken.
Rep Quentin Williams was the model of a public servant and his tragic death has us all in mourning. Q was a dear friend to so many in government and his community. His smile lit up a room, and he was admired and respected by all. We send our deepest condolences to his family.
Read the heartfelt tribute to Quentin "Q" Williams from Sarah Ganong, our State Director, at the CT Examiner. ctexaminer.com/2023/01/05/goo… "It feels wrong, unfair, like something deeply out of place, something that should not have happened....
Today the people of Connecticut lost an advocate. Q’s unrelenting dedication to creating a more equitable Connecticut for all set the standard for all public officials.
No words could properly articulate how I and so many others feel today. Connecticut lost a giant and statesman in Q Williams. I have so many stories with Q, from my first term in office to when he invited me and some dear friends on a @YEOnetwork conference this past summer.
Last night, Q Williams was so full of energy, joy, and passion for his new role and the work ahead. Heartbroken by the news this morning.
Today, I was sworn-in as a member of the Connecticut General Assembly. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to once again serve the people of The City of Bridgeport at the State Capitol.
Today I was sworn in as State Representative for another two years. This is the honor of my life. Thank you everyone for your love and support. Happy Opening Day!!
I’ve been appointed as the new Vice Chairman of the Veterans and Military Affairs Committee and as an Assistant Majority Leader! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
