The impact on federal employees from the prolonged government shutdown is increasingly affecting the livelihood of over 1,500 Connecticut residents and their families. Each additional day they work for no pay - child care, mortgages, food and car payments, to name a few, are falling behind and there is no indication for when paychecks will resume.
The 2019 Legislative Session has officially started and I am honored and excited to have been sworn in to serve my first full term as State Representative for Hartford’s 4th Assembly District.
I am excited to have been appointed Vice Chair of the Finance Committee and Assistant Majority Leader by Speaker Aresimowicz for the upcoming legislative session.
