I don't know about you, but I'm still in disbelief over the UConn men's basketball team's victory over Duke last night. A huge, come-from-behind, 1-point victory capped by a miraculous, last-second 3-point heave from a freshman to send the Huskies to the Final Four.

Our nation lost a giant this week with the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rev. Jackson’s life was a testament to courage, conviction, and an unshakable belief in a more just and inclusive America.

Work continues on the train derailment that took place in town last week. I want to thank everyone, notably town employees and officials, for their tireless efforts to keep the community safe and informed.

I joined hundreds of state legislators from across the country in signing a letter supporting the people of Minnesota following the killing of two people at the hands of federal immigration agents.

A major snowstorm is predicted this weekend. With climate change a reality, these weather events are expected to happen with greater frequency and intensity. 

Along with Reps. Kara Rochelle and Kaitlyn Shake, and Sen. Derek Slap, I raised the alarm last week about harmful federal student loan changes adopted under the Trump administration that will make it significantly harder for students to afford graduate degrees in critical fields like nursing, teaching, social work, and public health.

First, I want to wish everyone a happy, safe and healthy new year. I'm looking forward to a productive 2026 representing Mansfield at the State Capitol.

As 2025 comes to a close, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for allowing me to represent you in the Connecticut General Assembly.
