SENATOR RAHMAN SWORN IN FOR FIRST TERM AS STATE SENATOR FOR THE 4TH DISTRICT


Today, State Senator MD Rahman (D-Manchester) was sworn in at the State Capitol for his first term as the State Senator representing the 4th Senate District, which includes Manchester, Glastonbury, Andover and Bolton. Sen. Rahman, elected to the Senate in November 2022, succeeds six-term State Senator Steve Cassano in the role.

“Today is a day I’ll never forget, because I would not be here without the support of my community,” said Sen. Rahman. “There are countless people throughout our four towns who selected me to represent them, and countless more whom I’m responsible to represent. I do not take that responsibility lightly. With today’s swearings-in comes the start of the legislative session, and as we begin our work in committees, I’ll remember the importance and gravity of this seat every day, working for the good of our towns, our communities and our state. America embraced me and my family, and I will not forget that as I fight for all of us.”

Sen. Rahman immigrated to the United States decades ago with little more than hope; today, he owns several businesses in health care, construction and real estate. Prior to his election, Sen. Rahman was locally known for his charitable work, including his work to acquire and distribute personal protective equipment and food for the community during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Decades ago, America found room for Sen. Rahman; decades later, the 4th Senate District found room for him to serve it and the great state of Connecticut.

Sen. Rahman will serve as Senate Chair of the Planning and Development Committee, Vice Chair of the Commerce Committee and as a member of the Aging, Finance, Public Safety and Public Health Committees.
