This week was packed with committee meetings and public hearings, and we’re making progress on key issues.

I had the pleasure of attending the Bethel Chamber of Commerce breakfast this morning, hosted by La Zingara. It was an important gathering where we discussed a wide range of issues affecting our community – from electric rates and education funding to the town budget and healthcare.

I’m honored to have been featured on NBC Connecticut, both on TV and in their latest article, to speak out against the reversal of two critical executive orders. These orders had protected individuals from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity in schools, workplaces, and access to healthcare.

Today in the Energy & Technology Committee, we voted to raise a concept bill concerning the combined public benefits charge. This is an important step as we work to bring more transparency and accountability to our electric bills while exploring ways to reduce rates for Connecticut residents.

I’m excited to share with you the introduction of House Bill 6147, titled "An Act Concerning Coverage for Medically Necessary Treatment in This State," which I’ve introduced this legislative session.

Yesterday marked the opening day of the 2025 legislative session, and I’m thrilled to update you on what’s ahead for Bethel, Danbury, and our great state. We heard from the Governor about his vision for the year, and I’m optimistic about the work we can accomplish together

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

I’m excited to share some big news with you. Speaker of the House Matt Ritter has appointed me as the House Regional Energy Policy Liaison. This role puts Connecticut at the forefront of shaping energy policy across New England, and I’m honored to take on the challenge.
