Connecticut's 135th assembly district

The One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Connecticut House of Representatives district elects one member of the Connecticut House of Representatives. Its current representative is John T. Shaban. Before 2002, the district contained the towns of Easton, Redding and parts of Newtown and Weston; boundary changes which took effect for the 2002 election removed Newtown and part of Redding from the district and added the remaining portion of Weston. The 135th District is one of the safest Republican seats in the House due to the lack of Democratic opposition, but former attorney general candidate Nancy Burton of the Green Party has run for the seat, making it the Green Party's strongest district in the state.
