House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora has re-appointed state Rep. Tony Scott as the leading House Republican on the General Assembly’s Housing Committee. The appointment will be effective when the General Assembly convenes for session on Wednesday, Jan. 8 and will remain through the 2026 session. Scott represents the 112th House District, which includes Monroe and parts of the towns of Easton and Trumbull.
“I will continue to fight to keep local control of zoning issues and bring common sense balance to the table,” Scott said. “This committee considers legislation that affects the lives of so many of our residents. I’m looking forward to getting to work on these important matters when the next legislative session begins in January.”
In his role as Ranking Member of the committee, Scott will lead housing-related policy initiatives on behalf of House Republicans. The Housing Committee has cognizance of all matters relating to housing and housing programs.
In the General Assembly, each legislative committee has four leadership posts. Senate and House Democrats, the majority party, each appoint a co-chairman to oversee committee activity while House and Senate Republicans have one Ranking Member each.
Scott was also appointed to the Human Services Committee, of which he was previously a member, and to the Executive and Legislative Nominations Committee. He remains a staunch advocate of lowering taxes for Connecticut residents, while making the state more affordable and safer.
Scott can be reached at any time at Tony.Scott@housegop.ct.gov or by calling 860-240-8700. Residents can also stay up to date on bills and future events by signing up for Scott’s email newsletter at www.RepScott.com.
