The 2025 Legislative Session is over, but there is still so much work to be done for our community.

Another legislative session is in the books. This year, I was proud to champion and pass bills protecting our environment, supporting special education, expanding affordable housing, and so much more. I cannot thank you all enough for picking me to represent the 41st district. It is an honor to be serving our state in Hartford and doing everything I can to build stronger communities for all of us.

Time is running out on the legislative session. With just 4 days left, we still need to pass a budget and get other top priorities over the finish line. As I turn my attention to those issues, I want to highlight some of the progress my colleagues and I made this week.

We got a lot of work done in the House this week, including passing legislation that protects our kids on social media and strengthens laws for survivors of sexual assault and trafficking.

This week was one of the busiest of the legislative session. In the House, we passed a slew of bills addressing everything from firefighter healthcare to warehouse worker's rights to establishing the International Trade Commissions Commission.

We must take dramatic, but responsible, action in order to protect our climate. Connecticut is increasingly feeling the impacts of climate change. This week, I had the pleasure of being part of the group of legislators that voted for a practical, affordable climate bill.

With the final month of session almost here - it is crunch time for my fellow lawmakers and I at the capitol. Next week the House of Representatives will meet three times to vote on legislation we've been drafting for months.

The UCONN Huskies have done it again! Congrats to the women's basketball team for taking home the 2025 NCAA Tournament Championship. This weekend, you can be part of the celebration in downtown Hartford, honoring the team for securing the school's 12th national title.
