State Representative Donna Veach proudly represents the 30th General Assembly District which includes the towns of Berlin and Southington. After a successful campaign in November 2020, Donna was sworn into office in January 2021, taking over the seat previously held by former Democrat Speaker of the House Joe Aresimowicz.
This legislative session, Representative Veach will serve as the Ranking Member of the Internship Committee. In addition, she will also serve as a member of the Environment, Judiciary, and Finance Committees. Donna is also a member of the Conservative Caucus, Sportsmen’s Caucus, and Women’s Caucus.
Born and raised in New Britain, Donna moved to Berlin more than 30 years ago with her husband Jeff, a Berlin Police Officer. Her and her husband have three adult daughters Heather, Callie, and Audra. They have all gone on to become nurses, following in the footsteps of their grandmother. Donna is also the proud grandmother to three grandchildren.
Coming from a conservative Catholic family, Representative Veach has always believed in and supported conservative values; limited government intrusion, the rule of law, free markets, and protecting personal freedoms.
Her hobbies include gardening, canning, baking, and activities such as hiking, crabbing, and clamming. Her love for canning and baking led her to start a small business called Copperpott Farm. She is also an avid hunter and enjoys spending time in the outdoors with her family.
Donna is also a proud supporter of our state and local police officers, veterans groups, small businesses, and non-profit organizations to name a few. For the past six years, she has served as a member of the Berlin Town Council.
