BUT HIS RECORD KEEPS CONNECTICUT’S DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT IN POWER.
EXECUTIVE BRIEFING • The public record tells a different story from the moderate image.

Six documented issue files
Official Connecticut General Assembly records
Read the record. Follow every source.
Boyd voted immediately before five Republican budget amendments, missed all five, then returned to vote yes on the final $49.4 billion state budget.
One of the missed amendments proposed moving $116.3 million to special education.
OFFICIAL RECORD • HB 7287 • HOUSE SCHEDULES B–F
Boyd voted no on a Republican amendment for broader school-day restrictions on student phones and social-media access.
The final bill addressed student device policies, but the stronger bell-to-bell amendment failed.
OFFICIAL RECORD • HB 5035 • LCO 4832 • HOUSE SCHEDULE B
Boyd voted no on Republican property-tax relief and conditional Social Security tax-relief amendments—then voted yes on the final budget adjustment.
Two relief votes. Two no votes. One yes vote for the underlying budget.
OFFICIAL RECORD • SB 1 • LCO 5790 & 5808 • HOUSE SCHEDULES A–B
Boyd voted no on restricting political groups and government officials from sending unsolicited absentee-ballot applications.
A straightforward election-security amendment. Boyd opposed it.
OFFICIAL RECORD • HB 5001 • LCO 4472 • HOUSE SCHEDULE B
Boyd opposed a Republican amendment creating a $150 nonrefundable state income-tax credit for eligible firearm-safe purchases.
Anti-gun. Anti-gun-safety. Anti-family. One vote managed all three.
OFFICIAL RECORD • HB 5043 • LCO 4501 • HOUSE SCHEDULE B
Boyd introduced HB 6057, a proposal that would have let businesses require consumers to bear credit-card processing fees and surcharges.
The bill was submitted “By Request” and did not advance beyond referral.
