Senate Minority Leader Stephen Harding of Brookfield said he received the emailed threat on Wednesday, Feb. 26, and police quickly searched his home for potential explosive devices. They didn't find anything.
Harding, a Republican, said the threat mentioned politics but didn't elaborate in a statement.
"My family and I are thankful for the always diligent and selfless work of the Brookfield, state, and Capitol police. Their action and attention to this matter have been extremely reassuring during this difficult time. That said, this is a distraction. Every family in Connecticut deserves to feel safe," Harding said.
He added that no threat would disrupt his work.
"My Connecticut Senate Republican Caucus and I will never stop focusing on the issues that matter to Connecticut’s working families."
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong also received a bomb threat at his home in Stamford last Friday. Police searched his residence but found nothing.
