Theone hundred thirty-fifth Connecticut House of Representatives district elects one member of theConnecticut House of Representatives. Its current representative isAnne Hughes. Before 2002, the district contained the towns ofEaston,Redding and parts ofNewtown andWeston; 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 was a safe Republican seat in the House, in part due to the lack of Democratic opposition, but an increased Democratic Party presence in recent years has changed this.
