Background

In 2008, Guglielmo voted to override Gov. M. Jodi Rell's veto of a minimum wage increase, but he opposed another bill the same year that would have required private employers to offer paid sick days.

Guglielmo voted in 2007 for the legalization of medical marijuana and to require hospitals to offer emergency contraceptives to rape victims.

He voted against requiring gun owners to report stolen firearms. He was one of only two legislators to vote against a ban on the use of machine guns by minors, a bill proposed after one of his Ashford constituents was killed at a firing range.
