Richard Blumenthal – Matthew Blumenthal

Richard Blumenthal spent years grilling CEOs and crafting legislation, but at home, one of his toughest critics was probably his son, Matt. Born in 1986, the younger Blumenthal didn’t just inherit his father’s sharp legal mind—he put it to use.

After serving as a Marine in Afghanistan, he jumped into politics, winning a seat in the Connecticut House in 2019. By 2023, he was pushing major election reforms. With his father still making waves in Washington, Matt’s carving out his own legacy. Give it a few more years, and Connecticut might have to start specifying which Blumenthal they’re talking about.
