The delegation opposes the Trump administration's easing of sanctions on Russia, arguing that doing so would send funds to Putin and undermine Ukraine, and calls for the administration to reverse course.
The delegation's statement opposes easing Russia sanctions and urges the administration to reverse course, which aligns with the bill's provision authorizing seizure and transfer of Russian sovereign assets to fund Ukraine. The rep's yes vote on passage is directionally consistent with that stance, though the statement focuses on the Russia sanctions issue while the bill bundles many unrelated provisions (TikTok, Iran, fentanyl, data brokers) the statement does not address.

Connecticut House Delegation Statement on President Trump Waiving Russia Sanctions
Position: The delegation criticizes the President's waiver of Russia sanctions shortly after they were enacted, argues that the Ukraine Support Act would have provided enforceable sanctions with stronger congressional oversight, and calls on the Senate to take up that act and on Republicans to press for enforcement of the sanctions.
Hartford, CT — Today, Reps. John B. Larson (CT-01), Joe Courtney (CT-02), Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), Jim Himes (CT-04), and Jahana Hayes (CT-05) responded to recent news that President Trump waived sanctions on Russia:
“Last month, we warned that the Senate’s sanctions bill left enforcement to the discretion of a President who has repeatedly demonstrated he is unwilling to stand up to Russia. He has proved us right. Less than a month after signing these sanctions into law, President Trump waived them before they could take effect.
“It did not have to be this way. The Ukraine Support Act, which passed the House in June, paired the authorization of military aid for Ukraine with sanctions that could actually be enforced. It set a higher bar for any waiver, required advance notice to Congress, and gave Congress the power to review sanctions relief for Putin. That is exactly the accountability we needed to ensure this President could not waive sanctions on a whim.
“The Senate should take up the Ukraine Support Act now, and every Republican who voted for these sanctions should join us in demanding the President enforce them. The Ukrainian people are being abandoned by President Trump – we cannot allow this to happen.”

Connecticut House Delegation Statement on President Trump Easing Russian Sanctions
Position: The delegation opposes the Trump administration's easing of sanctions on Russia, arguing that doing so would send funds to Putin and undermine Ukraine, and calls for the administration to reverse course.
Hartford, CT — Today, Reps. John B. Larson (CT-01), Joe Courtney (CT-02), Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), Jim Himes (CT-04), and Jahana Hayes (CT-05) responded to recent news that President Trump is easing sanctions on Russia:
“President Trump has now officially sought to ease sanctions on Russia through April 7th following recent troubling reports that he would do just that. This is exactly what we were concerned would happen when we decided to vote against the Russian Sanctions Act last month.
“President Trump has created a war of choice with Iran, raising utility costs and gas prices for everyone. Instead of putting an end to the war in Iran and holding Putin responsible for his vicious attacks on the Ukrainian people, he now seeks to buy diesel from the country that he should be sanctioning. Do not be fooled. This agreement will not bring diesel prices down. It will only put American dollars in the hands of a murderous dictator who will use the funds to kill Ukrainians.
“President Trump has betrayed the Ukrainian people who have suffered at the hands of Vladmir Putin’s violence for far too long. He must reverse course, or his actions will draw out this war and the needless suffering of Ukraine.”

Larson Statement on the 2027 Social Security COLA Announcement
Position: Larson argues that Congress must act to prevent Social Security insolvency and automatic benefit cuts, and supports the Social Security 2100 Act, which would enhance benefits, eliminate the FICA cap, and impose a net investment income tax on income over $400,000.
Washington, D.C. - Today, House Social Security Subcommittee Ranking Member John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement after the Social Security Administration (SSA) announced a 3.6 percent Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2027.
“Today’s announcement demonstrates just how hard President Trump’s affordability crisis has hit our seniors," said Larson. “As Americans struggle to make ends meet, a small bump in benefits is always welcome news—but for many seniors living on fixed incomes, it won’t be enough to keep pace with rising costs. With insolvency looming, we are only a few years away from automatic benefit cuts for everyone on Social Security if Congress does not act. Rather than come to the table with solutions, this administration and their allies in Congress have been laser-focused on breaking the system from within, so they can privatize Social Security. They have slashed staff and services at the Social Security Administration, making it harder for seniors to get their benefits in full and on time, and Speaker Johnson has even teased a plan to cut benefits if Republicans hold their majorities in the House and Senate. We cannot let that happen. Americans are depending on their Congress to enhance benefits—not cut them—and Democrats are ready to act. Our plan will stop these automatic cuts, boost benefits across the board, and ensure no one can retire into poverty after a lifetime of work, all by finally making the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. It is time for a vote.”
The annual Social Security Trustees Report released this summer confirmed that Congress must act and that failed Trump policies, including the Big, Ugly Bill, mean that Social Security’s insolvency is closer than ever. Inaction will lead to the average senior losing about $500/month in Social Security benefits in 2032.
Ranking Member Larson’s Social Security 2100 Act would enhance Social Security benefits to help beneficiaries dealing with rising costs and extend the program’s solvency by eliminating the FICA cap and imposing a net investment income tax on income over $400,000.
Connecticut Congressional Delegation Announces $75.3 Million in LIHEAP Funding to Connecticut
Position: The delegation announces $75.3 million in FY27 LIHEAP funding for Connecticut, criticizes the proposed elimination of the program in the Trump Administration's budget, and says it will oppose efforts to cut the funding.
Hartford, CT — Today, Reps. John B. Larson (CT-01), Joe Courtney (CT-02), Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), Jim Himes (CT-04), and Jahana Hayes (CT-05), and Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy announced over $75.3 million in Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding to Connecticut for FY27 allocated through the Continuing Resolution. This funding comes after the Trump Administration’s proposed FY27 budget included the elimination of the LIHEAP program and as Connecticut families are dealing with skyrocketing costs to heat their homes due to the war in Iran.
“LIHEAP is a lifeline to nearly 100,000 Connecticut families, including children and seniors, helping them to heat their homes. As this war of choice in Iran causes oil costs to soar, more and more families will struggle to afford their utility bills. As a delegation, we have fought to protect and strengthen LIHEAP, especially under threats of elimination by President Trump. We are proud to have secured $75.3 million for Connecticut’s first round of funding from LIHEAP – one of the earliest releases of funding in years. We will continue to deliver the resources Connecticut families depend on and defend this funding from this administration’s attacks so no one has to choose between heating their home and buying groceries,” said the delegation.
Connecticut residents can apply for energy assistance through the Connecticut Department of Social Services, available here.

Larson Statement on Trump Administration Demand for Voter Records in East Hartford and Other Connecticut Communities
Position: Opposes the Trump Administration's subpoenas for voter records in Connecticut communities, arguing the administration has not justified the demand and that local officials should not be pressured to comply. Supports legislation to prevent federal deployment of immigration enforcement at polls and to protect eligible voters from improper removal from voter rolls.
East Hartford, CT – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement after reporting revealed that the Trump Administration subpoenaed three towns in Connecticut, including East Hartford, in an attempt to access private voter records. In July, their effort to access Connecticut’s voter files was rejected in federal court.
“The Trump Administration has proven time and time again that they cannot be trusted with the American people’s confidential information,” said Larson. “Our local officials—in East Hartford and across the state—are some of the best in the country, administering our elections with the utmost integrity and ethics. The administration must explain why they are after this data, and local officials should not be bullied to comply with these potentially unlawful demands for sensitive records. From attempts by ‘DOGE’ employees to hand data from Social Security to a political group trying to alter elections, to using inaccurate data to pressure states to remove citizens from the voter rolls, their goal is clear. Donald Trump and his cronies would rather sow misdoubts about a free and fair election than defend their failed agenda or do anything to lower costs for working families.”
Rep. Larson continues to oppose any effort to make it harder for citizens to cast their ballots, leading efforts to stop the President’s attempts to weaponize federal agencies as part of a national election takeover. He introduced the Stop ICE Election Militarization Act to prevent the federal government from deploying immigration enforcement to the polls, a Resolution of Inquiry probing illegal election interference efforts at the Social Security Administration and joined Rep. Joyce Beatty (OH-03) to introduce the Voter Purge Protection Act, which would put protections into federal law to prevent anyone from improperly removing an eligible voter from the rolls.
Larson Joins Bipartisan Colleagues to Introduce Resolution Recognizing National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day
Position: The release recognizes National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day through a resolution and highlights the representative's support for extending the Investment Tax Credit for fuel cells and linear generators and for tax incentives to boost hydrogen production.
Washington, D.C. - Today, Reps. John B. Larson (CT-01), Jim Costa (CA-21), Paul Tonko (NY-20), David Valadao (CA-22), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), and Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) introduced H. Res. 1611, a bipartisan resolution designating October 8, 2026, as "National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day." National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day is observed annually on October 8 in recognition of hydrogen’s atomic mass of 1.008. The day highlights the role hydrogen and fuel cell technologies play in American energy production, transportation, grid reliability, and economic growth.
As Co-Chair of the bipartisan Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Caucus, Rep. Larson has long championed fuel cell technology and has been a forceful advocate for extending the Investment Tax Credit for fuel cells and linear generators, securing its extension in both 2018 and 2022 as part of the Inflation Reduction Act. He co-led introduction of the bipartisan Technology for Energy Security Act to extend the tax credit for another eight years and the American Affordability Act, to bring down costs for households, including a plan to spur the development of American-made clean energy by providing a tax credit to companies that reduce carbon emissions by producing "green" and "blue" hydrogen and fuel cells.
"Connecticut continues to lead the nation as a hub for the research and development of clean hydrogen and fuel cell technologies," said Larson. "For years, I have worked across the aisle to enact tax incentives to boost hydrogen production and invest federal funding to grow our fuel cell economy, unleash the power of American-made clean energy, and reduce emissions. As we recognize the twelfth annual National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day, we must work together on real solutions to lower costs for consumers and grow the clean energy supply chain across the country."
The United States produces and uses approximately 10 million metric tons of hydrogen each year. Hydrogen can be derived from a variety of domestic resources and used to store energy, while fuel cell technologies are used for transportation, stationary power, and backup power. Larson, Costa, Tonko, Valadao, Fitzpatrick, and Bilirakis are co-leads of the House Resolution, with Reps.Mike Lawler (NY-17), Suzan DelBene (WA-01), and Jimmy Panetta (CA-19) joining as original co-sponsors. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) led the introduction of the Senate Resolution, with Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Chris Coons (D-DE), and Chris Murphy (D-CT) joining as original cosponsors.
"Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are an important part of America’s energy future,” said Costa. "By investing in American innovation, we can strengthen our energy security, build a more reliable and resilient grid, create good-paying jobs, and reduce emissions. The United States has long been a leader in developing these technologies, and this bipartisan resolution recognizes the work being done across the country to ensure we continue leading the way."
"Supporting clean hydrogen unlocks a wealth of benefits — boosting our economy, protecting energy security, and reducing emissions," said Tonko. "Throughout my time in Congress, I’ve worked to advance legislation that invests in energy innovation and lowers costs, which is why I’m proud to join my colleagues to introduce this bipartisan resolution and support a stronger, healthier, more competitive nation."
"I’m proud to join my colleagues in reintroducing a bipartisan resolution designating October 8th as National Hydrogen Fuel Cell Day. Advancing these technologies is critical to strengthening our nation’s energy independence, driving continued innovation, and enhancing our energy security. An all-of-the-above energy strategy will help lower energy costs for Central Valley communities while ensuring our farms, businesses, and homes have access to the reliable energy they need to thrive," said Valadao.
"The question is not whether America will need more energy—it is whether we will lead in producing it. Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies can strengthen our energy security, reinforce the reliability and resilience of our grid, create good-paying American jobs, and help meet growing demand through cleaner, innovative solutions. National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day recognizes the incredible scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and workers driving that progress, and reaffirms our bipartisan commitment to ensuring America continues to lead the world in energy innovation," said Fitzpatrick.
"Congress has long recognized how hydrogen seamlessly fits into so many of the energy tools in America’s energy portfolio," said Frank Wolak, President and CEO of the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA). "Whether a feedstock for low-carbon fertilizer and export fuels such as ammonia or used directly as a fuel on its own to power data centers, heavy-duty trucks, and everything in between, hydrogen helps the U.S. meet growing power demand at home while sustaining leadership in energy markets abroad. We thank Representative Costa and the resolution’s co-sponsors for supporting Hydrogen Day and the U.S. industry at large.”
Connecticut House Delegation Statement on Reports President Trump is Seeking to Ease Russian Sanctions
Position: The Connecticut House delegation opposes reported White House plans to ease sanctions on Russia, argues that sanctions enforcement should be mandatory rather than dependent on presidential discretion, and calls for continued military assistance to Ukraine.
Hartford, CT – Today, Reps. John B. Larson (CT-01), Joe Courtney (CT-02), Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), Jim Himes (CT-04), and Jahana Hayes (CT-05) responded to reporting from The Atlantic that President Trump is entertaining a plan to ease sanctions on Russia:
“When we voted against the Senate’s sanction bill this month, we warned that stripping out the enforcement language would leave every decision about punishing Putin to a president who keeps siding with the Kremlin. It took less than two weeks and President Trump is entertaining a plan to ease sanctions on Russia.
“Just last week President Trump went to the United Nations and bragged about the ‘enormous new tariff authorities’ this bill handed him. So, the one part of the law he seems eager to enforce will needlessly raise costs on Americans by continuing his reckless trade policies, while the power he was given to cripple Putin’s war machine he is already looking to sign away.
“That is exactly why the House-passed bill, H.R. 2913, required the president to act on sanctions. Without that requirement, sanctions are dependent on President Trump’s will to impose them – and President Trump has shown us time and time again he would rather be a friend to Putin than hold him accountable.
“We will keep fighting for military assistance for Ukraine and real sanctions that no president can waive away as a favor.”

Larson Condemns Supreme Court Decision Allowing Use of Trump Voter Purge Database
Position: Condemns the Supreme Court's decision allowing states to use the SAVE database, which draws on Social Security Administration and DHS data, to remove voters from registration rolls, and calls for legislation restricting political appointee access to Social Security data and protecting voters from improper purges.
East Hartford, CT – Today, House Social Security Subcommittee Ranking Member John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement condemning the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the use of the Trump Administration’s “SAVE” database, which empowers states to use data collected from the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security, to purge voters from the rolls. Earlier this year, it was revealed in court that this database was used to terminate the voter registration of eligible citizens in multiple states.
“It is beyond disappointing for the Supreme Court to allow the Trump Administration to deploy a database that has already been used to wrongly remove eligible citizens form the voter rolls,” said Larson. “Time and time again, the President and his appointees have proven that they cannot be trusted with people’s confidential records. From attempts by ‘DOGE’ employees to hand data from Social Security to a political group trying to alter elections, to this sprawling database riddled with inaccuracies, this administration’s goals are clear. They will do whatever it takes to get in the way of free and fair elections. If the Supreme Court will not stand up to this clear abuse of power, then Congress must act—and state and local officials should commit to not participating in this voter purge campaign. I will continue to push to pass legislation that gets Trump officials out of the American people’s data at Social Security and protects the right of every citizen to cast their ballot free from fear and intimidation in the United States of America.”
The Trump voter database follows his threats to “nationalize our elections,” and a push from Republicans in Congress to pass his so-called “SAVE America Act” that would create more barriers for Americans to vote and empower the Department of Homeland Security to purge voters from the rolls.
Ranking Member Larson’s Protecting Americans’ Social Security Data Act would block political appointees from accessing sensitive data systems at the Social Security Administration and establish privacy requirements in law for beneficiary data and strengthen oversight and civil penalties for any privacy and disclosure violations of Social Security beneficiaries’ personal information. He also joined Rep. Joyce Beatty (OH-03) to introduce the Voter Purge Protection Act, which would put protections into federal law to prevent anyone from improperly removing an eligible voter from the rolls.
Larson Condemns ‘DOGE’ Public Release of Social Security Numbers of Doctors and Medical Providers
Position: Larson opposes the disclosure of Social Security numbers and sensitive personal data by DOGE officials and calls for congressional investigation, accountability measures, and legislation to prevent political appointees from accessing confidential Social Security Administration data.
East Hartford, CT – Today, House Social Security Subcommittee Ranking Member John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement after the Washington Postrevealed that ‘DOGE’ officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) launched a portal that publicly disclosed the Social Security numbers of some doctors and medical providers.
“For more than a year, ‘DOGE’ employees have had their hands on your personal data – Social Security numbers, home addresses, income histories, and even medical records,” said Larson. “They have uploaded Americans’ most sensitive information to a potentially unsecure cloud, schemed to use it with political groups to overturn elections, and even reportedly bragged about copying Social Security databases onto a thumb drive for personal use. Last night, we learned that Medicare officials publicly disclosed the Social Security numbers of physicians and other health care providers through an online portal. Time and time again, we have demanded hearings in the United States Congress and introduced Resolutions of Inquiry to compel ‘DOGE’ to come forward and answer for their actions. The Republican majority has stood in the way, even going as far as changing House rules to prevent us from advancing our inquiries and protect these bad actors from accountability. If these criminal allegations are not enough for Republicans to investigate, where will they draw the line?”
Ranking Member Larson has introduced four Resolutions of Inquiry to demand answers from ‘DOGE’ and other Trump officials on their use of personal data at the Social Security Administration. He also introduced the Protecting Americans’ Social Security Data Act to prevent political appointees and special government employees like 'DOGE' from accessing private and confidential data at the Social Security Administration and increase penalties for privacy violations relating to data misuse.
Larson Applauds House Vote to Pay TSA and Coast Guard Without Handing More Money to Cruel Trump Immigration Agenda
Position: Rep. Larson opposes additional funding for ICE and calls for the agency to be disbanded, arguing it operates without accountability and should be defunded to redirect resources toward affordable housing and healthcare.
Washington, D.C. - Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) issued the following statement after the House passed a funding bill to ensure TSA agents, FEMA personnel, and members of the Coast Guard are paid, while rejecting Republican demands to hand ICE another blank check as part of any funding deal. Larson has called for disbanding ICE and diverting their funding to build more affordable housing and lower healthcare costs.
“After refusing to ensure pay for our TSA agents, FEMA workers, and Coast Guard, the House finally relented and passed the same bill the Senate passed unanimously more than a month ago,” said Larson. “I’m proud of Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro for leading the fight to ensure our civil servants and troops will be paid without providing more money to advance Donald Trump’s cruel immigration agenda. ICE has become Trump’s secret police force, in essence, and continues to evade any form of accountability from the American people. They do not need any more funding. They need to be disbanded! I have opposed the agency since its inception and will keep fighting to hold them accountable to keep our residents safe.”
