Connecticut's 26th State Senate district
Connecticut's 26th Senate district elects one member of the Connecticut Senate. The district consists of the entirety of Westport, Wilton, Ridgefield, and Redding, and parts of Bethel, New Canaan and Weston.[1] Previously, the 26th district comprised Norwalk, Wilton, New Canaan, and Easton. However, in the late 1970s Norwalk and Darien became the 25th district. It is currently represented by Democrat Ceci Maher since 2023.
