What a scorcher today! Remember to stay hydrated, and let's make sure family and friends are aware, too. I'm happy for a couple of fellow lawmakers who saw their hard work recognized at a bill signing event this week. Congrats to Black Maternal and Infant Health Caucus Chairwoman Kai Belton and vice chair Trenee McGee.

We're closing out another week of extremely hot weather. I've included some safety tips and resources to beat the heat in the future.

Here's a friendly reminder to join me and fellow legislators for an End-of-Session Town Hall in Groton on Tuesday at the Thrive 55 Community Room, 102 Newtown Road, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

We're going to have some great weather over the next couple of days. As you know, the 41st district is a wonderful place to be all the time - but around this time this year, it is second to none..

I want to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July. I have included some notable statistics related to this holiday, as well as some helpful safety tips. Governor Lamont signed two pieces of environment-related legislation into law this week.

The cooler temperatures have provided some much-needed relief, but don't get too comfortable. After all, it is Connecticut, and it's summertime. It gets hot here. With the arrival of summer comes new laws.

Our streak of double-digit weekend weather is set to come to an end in a big way. Beginning Sunday at noon, an Extreme Hot Weather Protocol will go into effect at least through Wednesday!

Thursday, June 19th is Juneteenth!

Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in our country.
