Please join us for a legislative roundtable on May 29 with our New Canaan area legislators hosted by New Canaan Library and The New Canaan League of Women Voters at New Canaan’s Public Library - 151 Main Street from 5:30 to 6:30pm.

I am welcoming state investments in Norwalk Public Schools to help make necessary upgrades to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. These enhancements not only promote better air quality but also support the well-being and academic success of students and staff. Work is expected to be underway and completed over the next few years.

Connecticut is launching a new program that will expand health care to underserved communities while forgiving the student loans of health care workers.

Food insecurity is on the rise and this is something that I care deeply about. At a press conference in Hartford on Wednesday, Feeding America shared some startling statistics.

During National Police Week and we honor the memory of our brother and sister officers who have lost their lives in the service of the communities they loved so very much. It is also a time to reflect upon the impact of such a loss on the officer's family, fellow officers and the entire community.

Connecticut law enforcement officers have our backs every day. We owe it to them to support their families and stand by them.

Veterans put their lives on the line for our country and, as a small way to say “thank you for your service,” the House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill that would support Veterans who have been disabled during service.

Paid time off was expanded in the House. House Bill 5005 allows for the accrual of paid leave, up to 40 hours each year, for those working at least 120 days annually. Businesses that already offer paid time off are exempt.
