Workers should never have to choose between their health and their jobs.

Connecticut is launching a new program that will expand health care to underserved communities while forgiving the student loans of health care workers.

We have less than a month remaining in the 2024 session. We have some work to do and the focus will be on our priority bills, including early childcare and education, further protecting our seniors, and the implementation of climate change measures.

My colleagues and I are advocating for fairness, justice, and inclusivity in healthcare systems in CT and worldwide.

This proposal is a priority of the House, and I am thrilled it is progressing through the legislative process.

This legislation was made possible by a state Constitutional amendment approved by a wide majority of Connecticut voters in 2022. It will provide you - and voters across the state - with more flexibility and access to cast your vote with the confidence that your voice is heard and your civic duty is fulfilled while avoiding large crowds and scheduling conflicts.
