Eli Sabin

It was cold but we did it! Beautiful to see so many New Haveners running, walking, and cheering at this morning’s 2026 IRIS Run for Refugees. Support IRIS’s incredibly important work at Irisct.org/donate!

Amazing to see the community turnout at tonight’s immigrant defense organizing event at First Presbyterian Church. We’re so lucky to live in a city that shows up and fights back when it matters most.

It’s the first day of Connecticut’s 2026 legislative session! Do you know how our state government works?

Never too cold to stand up to ICE. Proud of our community and how we stand up for our values.

The state legislative session in Hartford starts next Wednesday, and we'll need to be ready to advocate to make sure our schools are fully funded. See you there!

‼️Happening tonight at Edgewood School at 6:30: an NHPS Budget Town Hall where district leaders will share information about funding for our public schools. This is a critical moment for us to organize and get involved to fight for the funding our kids and teachers deserve.

It was good to see so many folks at last night’s meeting on the $300 million Bus Rapid Transit project. This is a transformative investment that will impact our streets and improve how we get around. Come out to discuss more on 2/11 and 2/12! Read here: www.newhavenindependent.org/2026/01/29/y...

I am so grateful for the outpouring of support since we launched our campaign. It means so much to me. In just one day, we hit the threshold for the Citizens' Election Program!

🚨🚨🚨Major news: In just one day, we hit our fundraising goals to qualify for public financing!

We raised over $6,800 from more than 190 donors. This is a local campaign, powered by New Haveners. Every donation came from a city resident and none came from lobbyists.

During this race, I'm looking forward to sharing more about my ideas—and listening to yours. I care so much about our state and our city. Fighting alongside you in the legislature would be an incredible honor. There is a lot of work to do, and I can’t wait to do it, together. Let's go!

Eli Sabin for New Haven Eli Sabin is running for state representative to lower the cost of living, fight back against Trump, and build a better future.

I believe in public service. I want to spend every day working with you to tackle our state and city’s biggest challenges, stand up to this federal government, and build a better future. Learn more about my story, my record, and my policy priorities on my website here: www.elisabin.com.

This is a grassroots campaign, and I’m proud to launch with an incredible group of local endorsements. Thank you so much to these leaders for their support—I’m so grateful.

I’m running because I know that with new leadership that listens, organizes, and delivers, we can protect our neighbors and build a state that’s more affordable, safer, and more fair. By making sure our government actually works to improve people’s lives, we can restore faith in our future.

I was born and raised in New Haven, and I love this city and our state. But with Connecticut getting harder to afford and Trump out of control in Washington, our community is under threat.

I'm excited to officially announce that I'm running to represent my hometown in the Connecticut State House!

I’m so proud to live in a city that shows up for our immigrant neighbors and stands up to the cruelty of ICE. If we keep speaking out, organizing, and fighting back, we will win. Thank you to 50501, Westville Indivisible, and others for yesterday’s powerful rally.

I love New Haven because of the amazing people who live here and who care so deeply about this city. Because of you, I know our future is bright. I’m excited to keep doing my part to help build a safer, more affordable New Haven that provides opportunity to all.

Thank you!

I’m most proud of passing the Downtown for All affordable housing law, raising housing code fines, and pushing to improve literacy and attendance in our schools after COVID.

During my time on the Board, I focused on three goals:
• Improving neighborhood safety
• Making New Haven more affordable
• Expanding economic opportunity for all
Protecting our community from the Trump administration has also been a key priority.

6/

Thank you to my colleagues, Mayor Elicker, Clerk Smart, and city staff. Most importantly, thank you to the residents of Ward 7—for your trust, support, and partnership. It has been an honor to serve alongside you.

5/

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve my hometown for the past six years. Working alongside such kind, hard-working, and inspiring alders taught me so much about public service, how to build coalitions, and what makes New Haven special.

4/

I’ll be continuing my work as Legislative Coordinator at CT Voices for Children and on the board of New Haven Legal Assistance. While leaving the Board is bittersweet, this move feels like the right step as I look ahead to graduation.

3/

I’ll be moving out of Ward 7 (to Willard St in Westville) to start a new chapter of life. Because of that, I sadly won’t be able to continue serving as alder—but I’ll still be in town and plan to stay involved.

2/

Thank you, New Haven, for six years working the best job I’ve ever had.

Yesterday, I announced that I will not be taking office for the new Board of Alders term. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to move, as I look toward graduating from law school in the spring.

1/

There’s still much more to do—on homelessness, tenants’ rights, and homeownership—but Downtown for All is a crucial step toward the affordable city we deserve. I’m so grateful to all the advocates and leaders who helped us win this important reform. Thank you, and happy holidays!
