Dear Neighbor,
It was an honor to speak at the Puerto Rican flag raising ceremony at the State Capitol this year. Perfectly timed with Hispanic Heritage Month, this flag raising gives us the time to come together and celebrate our beautiful community!
This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re not just celebrating culture - we’re honoring generations of resilience, creativity, and impact. From art to innovation, the Hispanic community continues to shape our world in powerful ways. Let’s uplift, honor, and keep making history together!
 

Alright Connecticut, do your thing! 🍁✨ Fall is officially here this Sunday, and no one does it better. From stunning foliage to apple orchards and cozy fall festivals, our state is the ultimate autumn destination.
 

Connecticut pension funds generated returns of 11.5% for the most recent fiscal year. That is a gain of $6.7 billion. This outstanding news from Governor Ned Lamont and State Treasurer Erick Russell means we can:

  • Save taxpayers money immediately and in the future
  • Guard against the impact of future down markets
  • Accelerate the steps to pay down inherited legacy pension debt

The continued improvement in Connecticut’s pension fund performance means we can free up revenue to fund valuable economic growth and social programs. We can also dedicate more significant investments in childcare, building more housing, fixing our aging roads, bridges, and highways.

Sincerely,

Juan Candelaria
State Representative
