SAMPSON REWIND: LET THE RECORD SPEAK REWIND #1: The So-Called “Emergency” Slush Fund Election Day is approaching and I think it’s time for a little reminder of what happened in Hartford this past legislative session.

On the final night of session, the majority replaced it with a 717-page aircraft carrier containing hundreds of controversial sections on spending, taxes, borrowing, labor, housing, hospitals, education, human services and more. https://cga.ct.gov/2026/cbs/S/pdf/SB-0001.pdf And here is what my opponent leaves out

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
