Jason is currently seeking his fourth term as State Representative for the 13th House District (Manchester, Glastonbury). In a short time, he has already distinguished himself as an effective legislator with a long list of legislative accomplishments and as a strong advocate for Manchester and Glastonbury in Hartford. In 2019, he stepped up to serve as the acting Chair of the Banking Committee, something a first-year representative had never done, and continues to serve as the House Chair. He also serves as a member of the important Finance Revenue & Bonding and Judiciary Committees.

He is a proud Democrat and has a long record of civic involvement in Manchester, having served on the Board of Directors (Town Council), Workforce Development Commission, Planning and Zoning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, School Modernization and Revitalization Committee (SMARTR 1), and Redevelopment Agency, among many others. While in law school at UConn, he served as a law clerk at the Connecticut General Assembly for the House Majority Leader. He has also been a coach for Manchester Little League for several years, a volunteer with the Highland Park School PTA and Boy Scout Troop 27, is a past President (and alumnus) of CAST Children’s Theatre, and has been known to moonlight as a drummer or guitarist in local rock and blues bands.

Voting Record

Actions speak louder than words, and those actions are listed in their voting record. The names of bills do not necessarily reflect what’s inside them. Someone might be for Mandatory Childhood Vaccines but vote against the bill due the way that they believe it was implemented. If you are curious about why your representative voted a specific way, contact them and ask.

Meeting With Jason

Jason Doucette was kind enough to meet with us and answer many questions in an interview

On the Issues

Economy, Budget and Taxes

Solving our state’s fiscal crisis and providing tax relief had always been job number one for me.  We’ve made tremendous progress in the last four years. 

Education

We need to invest in public education in Connecticut, including our technical schools and community colleges, and grow the education-to-workforce pipeline for jobs in high-tech manufacturing. 

Healthcare and Reproductive Rights

Connecticut residents need access to quality, affordable healthcare, including reproductive healthcare.

Environment

When Washington fails to lead on climate legislation, Connecticut must remain vigilant and fight here at home to preserve the environment for our children – it is important now more than ever. 

Common Sense Gun Control

Connecticut should stay on the forefront of common sense regulation. 

Voting Rights and Fair Elections

We need to expand voting rights by allowing early voting and continue to protect voting integrity.

Advocating for our Communities and my Constituents

I will continue to be an advocate at the State Capitol for local issues in Manchester and Glastonbury.
