Connecticut's 149th House of Representatives district elects one member of the Connecticut House of Representatives. It encompasses parts of Greenwich and Stamford and has been represented by Republican Tina Courpas since 2025.[1]
A heavily ancestrally Republican district, it has shifted Democratic in recent years, partly due to backlash among suburban and higher-income voters against Donald Trump.
In 1964, Connecticut was redistricted, abolishing its system of electing no more than two representatives per town. It added a 149th House district. However, as house elections were cancelled in 1964 to redistrict, members would be elected in 1966.
