This week I spoke at a student rally in support of a bill that would make affirmative consent the standard at all Connecticut colleges. This legislation would ensure that all Connecticut college students have the same level of protection.

On Monday, I hosted a community forum at the Mansfield Public Library on insurance mergers along with Sen. Mae Flexer, Rep. Linda Orange, Rep. Susan Johnson, and the Connecticut Campaign for Consumer Choice. The purpose of the event was to discuss what the proposed merger of health insurance companies Anthem and Cigna will mean for consumers.

I'm glad I was able to join Sen. Mae Flexer and Rep. Caroline Simmons to highlight Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). I spoke about my involvement with the Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence's 'Where Do You Stand?' program to engage Connecticut men in being active in the prevention of sexual violence in their communities.

I was happy to join the University of Connecticut Chapter of the American Association of University Professors today to help present their 2016 Excellence Awards. The Excellence Awards are given to faculty who have gone above and beyond in their commitment to teaching and scholarship.

Yesterday, State Senator Mae Flexer and I welcomed overwhelming student and other support for this year’s Affirmative Consent bill during its public hearing before the Higher Education Committee.

I was invited to take part in a conversation on WNPR's Where We Live on affirmative consent.

Mountain Dairy Farms, which has been run by ten generations of the Stearns family, conveyed the farm’s development rights to the state. More than 82 acres of the 243-year-old farm will be permanently protected and will be forever available for agricultural production under the state’s Farmland Preservation Program.

Mansfield received a $243,750 state grant toward the $375,000 cost of purchasing 61 acres on Meadowbrook Lane in Mansfield.
