Robin Comey

This summer has been very productive and I continue to attend meetings, workshops and conferences that are being held by agencies throughout the state. At the beginning of session, I was tapped to serve as co-chair of the CT Kid’s Report Card Leadership Committee, a group of diverse key stakeholders charged with providing the legislature’s Children’s Committee with input that promotes the well-being of our state’s children. 

We passed several laws this year that will help the growing technology and the biosciences industry with the goal of making it easier to do business and attracting more companies to Connecticut.

I hope you can come join me this Friday morning from 8:00am to 9:00 am at Shoreline Cafe - 1247 Main Street - to talk about this past legislative session and address any concerns or questions you may have.

I am pleased to have joined the Office of Early Childhood, colleagues and children’s advocates for the announcement of a significant rate increase for the Care 4 Kids program that helps low and moderate income working families in Connecticut afford childcare.

Expanding public access to epinephrine was something we worked hard on throughout session and I am thrilled to say that today we made the stock entity bill even more official with the Governor's signing ceremony!

I am pleased that Connecticut is taking important steps with innovative ideas to help us address our environmental and energy challenges. I wanted to share a few successes we had this legislative session that address energy and climate change.

As my first legislative session comes to a close, I am grateful and honored to have worked alongside my colleagues on both sides of the aisle on behalf of the people that sent me to Hartford. When casting each of my votes, I took into consideration the feedback I received from many of you who called and communicated their concerns and support on a variety of issues.

Our bill, SB 706 passed the House and with the Governor’s signature, Connecticut will become the 35th state to have a stock entity epinephrine law!  Grateful to my colleague, State Senator Matt Lesser for being the best teammate ever!
