Undoubtedly you've heard of the latest attempt out of Washington, D.C., to undermine our country and spike the economy by freezing all federal non-Social Security or defense-related grants.

We are hitting the ground hard and fast!

This week I joined Rep. Gillian Gilchrest, Sen. Gary Winfield, and over a dozen of my House colleagues with over 100 community members from the Connecticut For All Coalition at a press conference in support of the 2025 Equity Agenda.

I was among 17 legislators who attended a press conference on the state's housing crisis hosted by my colleague Eleni Kavros DeGraw, chair of the Planning & Development Committee, and housing advocates.

I was sworn in on Wednesday to serve my fourth term representing the 135th District at the state Capitol. I have never been more excited and honored to represent the residents of Easton, Weston and Redding.

I am so pleased so many of you have already reached out and have been meeting with me to propose legislation that I am submitting per your suggestions for the 2025 session, which begins Wednesday.

A number of new laws that were passed during the 2024 legislative session will go into effect Wednesday, January 1.

On Monday, I joined members of our immigrant, refugee, advocate, and legal communities, in addition to local leaders at the State Capitol to rally to protect immigrants and immigrant families here in Connecticut.
