Sponsorship record · Peer comparison
An itemized account of all 90 bills carrying Rep. Weir's name, 2023 through 2026, built from the LegiScan Connecticut bulk datasets and cross-verified against a FastDemocracy export, the LegiScan API, and the General Assembly's member-bills page. Every disposition is resolved: 41 bills he filed himself, none of which became law or received a floor vote, and 49 cosponsorships, 33 of which did become law. On all 33 the primary sponsor of record is a committee.
Part 4 follows the four district projects behind his 2025 bond bills through State Bond Commission agendas, state grant award lists, and Hebron municipal minutes: none received state funding, and the RHAM emergency generator is being installed on Town of Hebron money. Part 5 sets the record against three peer groups and reports the finding that cuts against the report's own framing — of 793 laws enacted in these four sessions, only 18 have a legislator rather than a committee as lead sponsor, and five of those six legislators are chamber leaders. The peer-comparison data layer is published alongside the report as dataset.json.
Voting record · Pattern analysis
A pattern analysis of 1,351 roll-call votes cast by Rep. Weir across four sessions of the Connecticut House, compiled from the General Assembly's official roll-call records and revised on the re-derived vote record covering both regular and special sessions. Examines how often he voted with the House Republican majority on contested questions, how his alignment varies by issue area, and the small number of crossover votes. Companion to the roll-call source dataset and to the right-of-caucus report.
Right-of-caucus votes · Roll-call analysis
Rep. Weir voted with his party's majority on contested questions 96.6% of the time across four sessions. This report examines the exceptions and finds them one-sided: in 1,351 roll calls he broke to the right of his caucus on 95 occasions, covering 94 unique bills, and to the left only 3 times. Itemizes each right-of-caucus vote with bill numbers, dates, and vote counts, including bills a majority of House Republicans treated as routine, technical, or bipartisan. The full list is available as a spreadsheet alongside the report.
Business interests · Public-records analysis
A public-records analysis of Rep. Weir's business holdings — built from Connecticut Secretary of State filings, Glastonbury and Hebron assessor records, OpenCorporates, and contemporaneous news reporting. Identifies seven CT business entities tied to him, including the $1.69M industrial parcel at 60 Village Place in Glastonbury that he himself describes as where he spends most of his time outside the legislature; documents his board seat on the Connecticut Apartment Association; and traces his consistent pattern of votes against contested tenant-protective housing legislation across four sessions.
The report's centerpiece is the May 6, 2026 demise of SB 274 — the Concierge Apartments response bill — which never received a recorded House vote after Republicans threatened to run the clock out on the final day of session. Includes a careful assessment of the Connecticut ethics-law question (CGS § 1-85 almost certainly permits the vote; disclosure is the load-bearing obligation, and Weir's official biography omits the commercial real estate entirely).
Senate Bill 1 (2026) · Roll-call analysis
A walkthrough of Weir's May 2, 2026 vote on SB 1, the FY 2026–27 budget adjustment that directs roughly $270 million in new K-12 and municipal aid to Connecticut towns. Using the Lamont administration's town-by-town breakdown and 2024 turnout shares for the split-town portions of Bolton and Glastonbury, the report estimates that approximately $630,000 of that aid is headed to the five towns of the 55th. The bill passed 127–21. Weir voted no.
The report documents that the vote was not party-line: 26 of 47 voting Republicans voted yes, including neighbors from the 8th District. Weir's no was a member-level vote, not a leadership signal. The piece makes no claim about his reasoning — it documents the vote, the money, and the caucus split, and points readers to Weir's own statements for the why.
Ideological placement · Voting-record analysis
Places Rep. Weir on a single liberal-to-conservative scale built only from recorded House roll-call votes using W-NOMINATE — no position is assigned by hand; the scale emerges from who votes with whom — for the 2025–2026 term and, for comparison, 2023–2024. Each of the 151 districts' partisan lean is estimated independently from a dozen years of election returns (President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and Governor, 2012–2024), aggregated from towns to districts by 2020 census population and cross-checked against 2024 State House turnout.
Putting the two measurements side by side shows both where Weir sits among his colleagues and how that compares to where his district sits among all 151. The finding is stable across both of his terms: he votes among the most conservative members of the House, to the right of his own party's leader, while the 55th leans Democratic at the top of the ticket. All data inputs, outputs, and the R source are bundled with the report.
Source data · Roll-call record
Every recorded House floor vote Rep. Weir cast from 2023 through 2026 — the four regular sessions plus the special sessions of September 2023, June 2024, and November 2025 — compiled directly from the Connecticut General Assembly's roll-call PDFs and presented as a single sortable table organized by session. Each row links out to the bill's tracking page, the official roll-call PDF, and (where available) the bill text, and shows both the chamber-wide totals and the party-caucus splits — with rows outlined where Weir voted against the majority of his own caucus. Every row is reconciled against its PDF's printed totals and cross-checked against the House Journals and CGA bill pages. CSV and JSON downloads of the full dataset are available alongside the HTML.
