Nathan Wolliston for State Senate

PASSION · PRESENCE · PURPOSE

Meet Nathan
My name is Nathan Wolliston. I am a husband, a father to my one‑year‑old daughter, a lifelong Hartford County resident, and a member of the Windsor Board of Education. I am running for State Senate because too many families in our district feel unheard and unrepresented in Hartford. I believe we deserve leadership that shows up, listens, and fights for the issues that shape our everyday lives.

I grew up here. I’m raising my family here. And I know we can build a Connecticut where every person has the chance to live a decent, stable life.
Meet Nathan
I have served on the Windsor Board of Education for over four years, and I am a proud graduate of the Windsor Public Schools. I’ve worked at Weaver High School supporting families and students, and I’ve worked with young people with developmental disabilities. I’ve also worked for the State Legislature, so I understand how policy gets made and how much our communities need a strong voice at the Capitol.

My wife and I are raising our daughter in our home in Windsor, and every weekend we cross the bridge to attend church at Living Word Empowerment Ministries. When I’m not working or advocating for our schools, I enjoy making music, especially playing the guitar. My experiences as a father, a public servant, and a lifelong resident shape my commitment to building a Connecticut where everyone can afford to put down roots and thrive.

Creating a Homeownership Economy

No one should lose their home or be unable to buy one because the system is stacked against them. We must ensure that families can afford to live, work, and build a future in our district. That means addressing the biggest driver of unaffordability: property taxes. I support expanding municipal aid and tying state funding to inflation, so towns aren’t forced to raise property taxes just to keep up with rising costs. This will help communities maintain services without pricing people out of their homes. I will also work to prevent tax increases on working and middle‑class families by advancing fairer, more predictable taxation and smarter state budgeting.

Responsive Representation

Representation shouldn’t begin after Election Day, it begins now. I want to hear from you how the state can make life more affordable and more stable for your family. Every town deserves to feel heard. We need leadership that holds regular town halls in every community, not just the politically convenient ones. No town is too small to deserve a voice in Hartford. It’s time to replace complacent, party‑first leadership with a State Senator who listens, shows up, and acts on behalf of all people.

Stronger Public Education System

A strong education system is essential to a strong community, but towns cannot continue relying on property tax increases to fund their schools. I support expanding education cost‑share grants and tying them to inflation so state support keeps pace with rising costs. Our towns need the tools and resources to improve our schools without unfunded mandates that strain local budgets. By strengthening state support, we can give every child access to a high‑quality education while protecting homeowners from unsustainable tax burdens.
