As the Speaker of the House of Representatives in Connecticut, Chris Donovan (D-Meriden) is a powerful man. Elected to the position in January, Speaker Donovan had previously served as Majority Leader for two terms and has been in the General Assembly since 1992. Donovan's lengthy tenure and ascent to power is a credit to his leadership skills - skills that he displayed while participating in the first cycle of the Citizens' Election Program in November.
