State Rep. Steve Meskers To Run For Re-Election In 150th State House District

GREENWICH, CT — State Rep. Steve Meskers (D-150) announced on Wednesday that he will seek a fifth term in office.

"Serving this community has been the greatest honor of my life. For 8 years, I've worked to keep my simple promise: work hard, listen carefully, and stand up for what matters most to Greenwich families," Meskers wrote in a social media post. "In these polarizing times, I've stayed focused on reaching across the aisle and finding solutions that serve us all. This isn't about politics—it's about results for our community."

On his campaign website, Meskers notes he has forged friendships in Hartford, which have given Greenwich "a strong voice at the heart of policy decisions."

"More importantly to me, I am committed to serving the residents of Greenwich," Meskers added.

Meskers was first elected to office in 2018 after he defeated incumbent Republican Mike Bocchino and broke a longtime GOP stronghold in the 150th District.

He was re-elected in 2020 after defeating Republican challenger Joe Kelly, then again in 2022 against Republican Ed Lopez, and two years ago against Republican Paul Cappiali.

In Hartford, Meskers is a member of the Human Services Committee and the Insurance and Real Estate Committee, and he is also the chair of the Commerce Committee.

"If re-elected as your State Rep, I plan to continue my work as chair of the Commerce Committee to build on this progress and work to grow the economy of this state," Meskers says on his campaign website. "You can count on me for my steadfast support of expanding voting rights and protecting all civil rights. Decisions at a state level matter now more than ever."

Along with a 35-year career in corporate lending, bankruptcy, and international bond sales, Meskers has served on the Greenwich Representative Town Meeting for around two decades.

The 150th House District covers Greenwich's shoreline, from Byram to Old Greenwich, south of Putnam Avenue.
