FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 9, 2026

The Connecticut Education Association awarded State Senator Ceci Maher (D-Wilton) an 89.1% grade for her work in the 2025 and 2026 legislative sessions supporting educational priorities.

“Educators around our state are thoroughly committed to the future of our children during a vital time in their lives,” said Sen. Maher. “Throughout my time in the Senate, I’ve worked to provide our teachers and our school districts with the resources and support they need.”

Sen. Maher’s votes included her support for the 2026 state budget, which provided nearly $200 million in additional education funding for school districts, supported free school breakfasts and increased special education grants; her votes to expand opportunities to support aspiring educators; support for a paraeducator minimum salary; and better protecting teachers through enhanced workers compensation protections.
