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 a former Democrat Speaker of the House.
For the 2025-2026 legislative session, Representative Veach will continue working alongside legislative interns from both caucuses as the Ranking Member of the Internship Committee. In addition, she will also serve as a member of the Environment, Finance, Revenue & Bonding, and Judiciary Committees. Donna is also a voluntary member of the legislature's Conservative, Sportsmen's, Italian American, and Women's Caucuses.
Born and raised in New Britain, Donna moved to Berlin more than 30 years ago with her husband. Her and her husband Jeff, a Berlin Police Officer, 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, with one more on the way.
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, veteran's groups, small businesses, and non-profit organizations to name a few. Since 2019, she has served as a member of the Berlin Town Council.
