Lawmakers play kickball to benefit CT Foodshare
HARTFORD Conn. (WTNH) — State lawmakers were battling it out in Hartford on Monday evening, but this time it was not over policy.
Monday was the Fourth Annual Bipartisan Kickball game between the Democrats and Republicans at Dunkin' Park.

Instead of the high-stakes fights during the legislative session, the lawmakers come together on the field for some good-natured competition, which benefits Connecticut Foodshare.
Connecticut Foodshare President and CEO Jason Jakubowski noted that for every dollar raised for Connecticut Foodshare, they can provide two meals in the state.
'The more important thing though, we get it, it's 2025,' Jakubowski said. 'Democrats and Republicans don't agree on a whole heck of a lot. But here they are together trying to help solve hunger in the state of Connecticut. We really appreciate it and it has been a good game so far.'
