Another week, another groundbreaking for a new school in Norwalk! Construction for an elementary school in South Norwalk officially kicked off earlier this week. Once completed, young students will no longer have to attend schools on the other side of the city - they will have a state of the art educational institution in right their neighborhood. I am thrilled that is project is underway and am eager to see the final result. Click here to read more.

Earlier this week, I had the honor to attend the official groundbreaking for the new Norwalk High School. This project has been many years in the making and it brings me joy to see it underway. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making this building a reality!

Great news! The Aging Committee approved HB 5001, an omnibus bill that will provide further support to our seniors.

Last Saturday, I joined members of the Norwalk Common Council to host Black History Month program at the Bethel AME Church. Thank you to all who attended - I hope you found the experience enriching and informational.

I'm excited to share my commitment to protecting the environment and working to combat climate change. HB 5004 "An Act Concerning the Implementation of Certain Climate Change Measures," was subject to an Environment Committee public hearing on March 8 and was passed out of the Environment Committee 23-11 last week. It now heads to the House Floor for consideration.

Earlier this week, I joined Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling, Governor Lamont, officials from the Connecticut Department of Transportation and colleagues from the House for a site visit of the new and improved Merritt 7 Train Station.

One of the victims of the wrong way crash in West Haven a few weeks ago was a colleague, friend, and Norwalk resident. Samantha Pearl Birchard was one of the four people to lose their life in the crash, and it hurts to lose someone so close to you.

The 2024 legislative session officially began on Wednesday. This year is a short session - sine die is on May 8 - and that means we must hit the ground running to achieve our goals.
