Rochelle seeks constituents' responses to survey

State Rep. Kara Rochelle

HARTFORD - State Rep. Kara Rochelle (D-Ansonia/Derby) is seeking input from the people of her district as she continues to prepare for the 2021 Legislative Session.

Residents can take the 2021 constituent survey, by visiting www.housedems.ct.gov/rochelle.

"I hope residents will complete the survey and will continue to stay in touch with me and share what matters most to them," said Rochelle.

The survey will ask residents for their ideas and thoughts on a myriad of issues that may come up this session, including the high cost of healthcare, Connecticut's increasing cost of living, managing government efficiency, and strengthening the state's relationship with the business community to drive workforce development and economic growth.

During her first term, in addition to her annual survey, Rochelle held in-district community coffee hours twice every month. She will resume these office hours virtually via Zoom on the third Monday and Saturday of the month.

"I work for my constituents, and our community comes first. Thoughtfully engaging with residents about the issues that matter most to them allows me to bring their stories and ideas to Hartford so I can best advocate on the issues that impact their lives," Rochelle said.

Residents who would like more information about the survey or office hours can contact Rochelle directly by emailing her at Kara.Rochelle@cga.ct.gov. 

If they need immediate assistance, residents can call her office at 860-240-8585.

This is a press release from Rochelle's office.
