Luxenberg Named To Major CT Legislative Leadership Position

MANCHESTER, CT — A state representative from Manchester has been named to a significant leadership position.

House Majority Leader Jason Rojas (D-East Hartford) announced Thursday that he has named Rep. Geoff Luxenberg (D-Manchester) Deputy Majority Leader. Luxenberg represents Manchester's 12th district.

"Representative Luxenberg is a diligent and hardworking legislator who is assertive and principled in standing up for the issues he is an expert on and that he cares deeply about," Rojas said. "Being in leadership requires you to familiarize yourself with the breadth of policy issues we confront, and I am grateful to have him on our leadership team. He will play a vital role in engaging with caucus members as we debate difficult issues in the year ahead."

As deputy majority leader, Luxenberg will work closely with the speaker of the house and majority leader to rally support to pass critical legislation. The deputy majority leader is also responsible for aiding the majority leader with the review and development of policy, the analysis of critical legislation, and with the agenda of the majority part.

"Jason Rojas isn’t just the House Majority Leader. He's a detail oriented, policy-centric, brilliant, inclusive and inspiring leader for Connecticut. So being named as a Deputy and having an opportunity to be a player on his team is a tremendous honor," Luxenberg said. "Together with Speaker Ritter - the House Democrats are ready to deliver for Connecticut during this challenging time with competence, compassion, character and conviction."
