Connecticut electoral politics has been dully predictable in recent years. Not since 2006 has a Republican been elected to Congress or a Connecticut constitutional office, including the governorship. The last time the GOP won majority status in the state Senate was 1997, aside from an 18-18 tie in 2016; in the House, 1984. Since the 2018 election, Democrats have enjoyed a trifecta – control of the executive and legislative branches of state government – but Republican nominees continued to win their share of state House and Senate seats.

People reportedly have died waiting for services and many have gone home with so many diseases and chronic illnesses as the result of medical neglect," Fair pointed out. The state has enacted a new law to improve prison healthcare. It takes a multifaceted approach, requiring the state to provide medically necessary procedures at on-site or off-site facilities and to keep electronic health records. It also creates a Correction Medical and Health Commission to draft a 10-year plan to improve medical, nutrition, behavioral health and healthcare services for incarcerated people. Fair's group said other changes are needed, including hiring more healthcare professionals to work for the Department of Corrections. She noted some people have left the
