Nine weeks out from Election Day, George Logan continues to prove how out of touch his MAGA agenda is with families of Connecticut's Fifth District - especially when it comes to organized labor and working families.
At a Labor Day parade this past weekend, Logan failed to acknowledge union members in Connecticut's Fifth District to WTNH, instead only offering up the same canned, detail-lacking talking points from his anti-worker Republican Party bosses.
This comes as no surprise, considering Logan boasts an extensive and extreme anti-labor record:
In the State Senate, Logan voted against establishing a paid family and medical leave program, which benefited thousands of Connecticut workers.
Logan voted against raising Connecticut's minimum wage to $15, which was set to benefit more than half a million Connecticut workers.
Logan has an abysmal 35% lifetime rating from the Connecticut AFL-CIO after he repeatedly voted against labor agreements in office, including ones to increase hazard pay for police officers and increase wages for childcare providers.
Logan opposed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which provided historic investments in Connecticut's roads, bridges, transit, and water infrastructure, and is expected to create 2 million jobs.
DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
"George Logan's extreme anti-worker record makes it abundantly clear he's not claiming to run on a platform that's pro-job and can't claim to be fighting for the best interests of everyday families."
