Rep. John Larson, U.S. Congressman representing Connecticut’s 1st district since 1999, posted a series of statements on March 18, 2026, addressing issues ranging from foreign policy to community violence and data security.
In a post at 15:19 UTC, Larson expressed his opposition to ongoing military action in the Middle East: “Our servicemembers’ lives should not be put at risk, and the American people’s tax dollars should not be spent on another forever war in the Middle East. Trump must end his illegal war in Iran now and work with Democrats to fund the programs families rely on to make ends meet.”
Later that day at 17:58 UTC, he highlighted efforts to address gun violence in Connecticut: “Reverend Brown is exactly right. Violence in our communities impacts everything from employment to food security. I was proud to secure new funding for @MUAVCT’s work to end gun violence, support survivors and their families, and make a difference in the Greater Hartford area.”
At 20:36 UTC, Larson commented on alleged data theft involving Social Security records: “Everyone needs to watch this ‘DOGE’ has been stealing your records from Social Security for the last year. Thanks to brave whistleblowers like Charles Borges, the truth is starting to come out. Musk’s minions need to come forward to Congress and testify UNDER OATH.”
John B. Larson has served as Connecticut’s 1st District representative since replacing Barbara Kennelly in 1999 and previously held office in the Connecticut Senate from 1987 through 1995. Born in Hartford in 1948, Larson resides in East Hartford and holds a BA from Central Connecticut State University.
