Politics & Pie, now in it's third year, brings constituents together with their Connecticut State Senator and House member. The program provides our representatives with an opportunity to present an overview of the latest legislative session – its accomplishments, challenges, and ongoing issues – and the public an opportunity to share concerns and ask questions.
