Connecticut State Rep. Anne Hughes, a Democrat, was arrested and charged with larceny after stealing her opponent's lawn signs. Darrell Harris' campaign signs were tracked with AirTags, which led authorities to property owned by Hughes.

Hughes, who is seeking reelection to a fifth term representing the 135th House District of Easton, Redding and Weston, acknowledged removing lawn signs that she says were improperly placed on public property.

“I apologize for removing them rather than contacting the police or my opponent’s campaign to remove them, and I take full responsibility and accountability for my actions,” Hughes said in statement.

Darrell Harris, the Republican challenger, said a volunteer frustrated by disappearing lawn signs had hidden air tags in some signs, and the campaign was able to track one Friday.

“I expected it to ping to same random person,” Harris said Saturday. “The last thing I expected was it to ping on her property.”

The signs taunted Hughes for a so-called “hot mic” moment at a press conference called by lawmakers who favor higher taxes on the wealthy. She was heard joking to colleague, “We’re not rich. But I always tell the governor to tax my people — they won’t even notice.” 

Harris’ signs said, “We noticed.”

According to the CT Insider, House Speaker Matt Ritter has said Hughes will face no disciplinary action.

We noticed that, too.

It should be the end of her political career, but it won't be.

Connecticut House Minority Leader Vincent J. Candelora told the CT Mirror that Hughes' actions were "an assault on free speech."

"But if these allegations are true, stealing her opponent’s signs to hide her own words is an assault on free speech and a serious breach of the public trust,” he said in an emailed statement. “It raises real questions about whether she is fit for office."
