Our first official Lobby Day in March, 2017 was a success and we met with Governor Malloy in May. He seemed surprised at the size and organization of our secular community. During our conversation, he mentioned that he’d enjoyed reading On the Origin of Species, that he was a fan of Darwin, and that he would issue our proclamation. We were elated!

Unfortunately, Governor Malloy has stated that he won’t run for re-election, so next year we’ll be starting from scratch. But we are already planning our 2019 Lobby Day and updating our Secular Briefing. And who knows? Maybe the next governor will be a humanist.
