In 2026, the nation will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The America 250 | CT Commission was created by Governor Lamont last year to lead efforts for this commemoration. The Commission needs assistance in reaching out across the state to encourage participation. Please invite your constituents to participate and share information and registration links for these important conversations.
