Larson Discusses 2016 Election, Next Steps with Local Students

HARTFORD – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) spoke with local students in an American Government class at Capital Community College about the results of the 2016 election and how to move forward.

“I am glad I had the chance to speak to these students about their concerns over the 2016 election results,” said Larson. “They echoed the sentiments of many of my constituents who have contacted our office about their anxieties. I will continue to fight for my constituents and their rights. We will work with President-elect Trump on the areas we agree with, and fight any bigotry and injustices that occur. ”

In addition to discussing their concerns, they also discussed ways to move forward and be a change within their local communities. Larson encouraged the students to be active in their communities, because change begins there.

Larson often meets with local groups throughout the First District to discuss their thoughts and concerns.
