In observation of Food Allergy Week, Sen. Lesser and I held a press conference today urging support/passage of SB 706, An Act Concerning Epinephrine Auto Injectors. After a decade of advocating for safe and inclusive food allergy policies in schools, in our community and in businesses, I am proud to now, as a legislator, be able to help guide Connecticut’s statewide healthcare policies to support parents and together bring this important issue to the forefront.

I am supporting a measure to increase access to life-saving epinephrine auto injectors and working to raise awareness of food allergies for the 21st annual Food Allergy Awareness Week, May 12-18. One of my top priorities is supporting measures that raise awareness and address the growing public health concern of life-threatening food allergies.

I am pleased the house passed a measure to require the Office of Early Childhood to develop a document concerning dissemination of information about developmental milestones experienced by children from birth to age three and information on how to access the Child Development Infoline.

Proud to welcome Branford High School students to the Student Manufacturing Connection Fair at the State Capitol.

Proud to stand with my colleagues, advocates, families and several champions advocating and raising awareness about Autism.

The April 15th deadline to file your state and federal income taxes is fast approaching.

As a longtime early childhood advocate I am encouraged by the conversations we are having in Hartford addressing the economic impact of early childcare. Our policies must be focused on supporting families with young children through an approach that looks also at the dollars and cents involved in children’s success. Here are some of my thoughts on this issue.

As March begins, the legislative session is in full swing — from public hearings on the budget, education and public safety and health issues, to transportation and the environment, we are up and running. I want to thank everyone who has reached out to share their ideas, feedback, thoughts and concerns about the work we are doing in Hartford.
