He is known for his thoughtful, solutions-driven approach and his willingness to engage across perspectives in pursuit of good policy.

Through his widely viewed social media content, he provides clear, non-partisan explanations of the legislative process, helping constituents and audiences beyond Connecticut better understand how decisions are made.

SETH'S VISION
LOWER COSTS & AFFORDABILITY
From rising energy bills to property taxes that squeeze middle-class households and seniors on fixed incomes, the cost of living in Connecticut is a real and daily burden. Seth Bronko is committed to responsible budgeting, protecting taxpayers, and fighting for fiscal policies that make it possible for families to live, work, raise children, and retire right here in the state they call home.
PRO-POLICE &
PUBLIC SAFETY
Seth stands firmly behind Connecticut's law enforcement officers, firefighters, and first responders — the men and women who show up when it matters most. Supporting public safety isn't a partisan issue; it's a basic responsibility of government. Seth believes in practical, community-focused solutions that protect families and neighborhoods while ensuring that every officer and every resident is treated with dignity and respect.
TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT
Government should not operate behind closed doors. Seth is committed to changing that. By communicating openly, explaining legislation clearly, and holding government accountable at every level, Seth works to rebuild the public trust that democracy depends on. When constituents are informed, they are empowered — and that's exactly the point.
EXPERIENCE. LEADERSHIP.
LOCAL VALUES.
Tax Relief for Connecticut Workers & Families
Seth introduced a trio of tax relief bills aimed directly at the everyday financial pressures Connecticut families face. These included eliminating the extra 1% sales tax on restaurant meals, establishing a personal income tax deduction for tips and gratuities earned by service workers, and repealing the highway use tax that drives up costs for commuters and small businesses. These bills reflect Seth's core belief that Connecticut families are overtaxed — and that Hartfod should be fighting to put money back in their pockets, not looking for new ways to take it out.
Protecting Victims of AI-Generated Abuse
(Signed into Law)
In a bipartisan win, Seth co-sponsored landmark legislation that holds online platforms accountable when they fail to remove AI-generated (deepfake) intimate images of real people. The law gives victims a private right to sue and empowers the Attorney General to pursue civil penalties against platforms that knowingly allow this content to remain online. This legislation reflects Seth's commitment to protecting Connecticut residents from emerging threats while ensuring that accountability — not just good intentions — is built into the law.
Securing Resources for Connecticut Seniors
Seth introduced legislation directing the state to conduct a formal study of the needs of Connecticut's senior citizens to ensure government resources are being properly allocated to support them. As costs rise and the population ages, too many seniors are left navigating a system that wasn't designed with their needs in mind. This bill reflects Seth's practical approach to problem-solving — before you can fix something, you have to understand it — and his commitment to making sure Connecticut's most vulnerable residents are never an afterthought.
Expanding Dual Enrollment & Education Access
(Signed into Law)
Seth backed legislation that requires the Connecticut Department of Education to appoint a statewide dual enrollment coordinator and create scholarships for students who have to pay out of pocket for dual enrollment courses. Dual enrollment allows high school students to earn college credits before graduation — reducing the overall cost of higher education and creating a clearer path to careers and opportunity. This is workforce development in action: meeting students where they are and lowering barriers to success in Connecticut.
