Building on Our Skilled Workforce
August 31, 2023During the 2023 legislative session, we successfully passed a number of measures, which will enhance and support our skilled workforce and make our state more attractive for companies and new businesses.
Health Insurance Rate Increase
August 22, 2023I want to share with you the testimony Rep. Anthony Nolan and I submitted to the Connecticut Insurance Department regarding our opposition to health insurance rate increases in 2024.
Delivering for Higher Education
August 15, 2023We have made significant strides in supporting higher education and ensuring a brighter future with opportunities, support, and financial relief for our students.
Protections for the Elderly
August 10, 2023During session, we successfully passed legislation that protects and supports individuals in the state who are in the twilight years of their life. Unfortunately, as the elderly population steadily rises, scam attempts against that community also increases. To help shield our older residents from being victimized, we passed PA 23-161, AN ACT CONCERNING FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION OF SENIOR CITIZENS.
Funding for Our Children
August 8, 2023I'm so proud to announce two great funding items coming to Groton and New London to help our children.
Connecticut: A Leader on Paid Family and Medical Leave
August 3, 2023Did you know residents in every town in the state have applied for CT Paid Leave? Approximately 66,000 workers in Connecticut have received over $375 million in benefits when they were unable to work due to qualifying health or family reasons.

Connecticut is a Leader on Tax Relief
July 21, 2023My colleagues and I delivered on our promise to lower taxes for those who need the most help. According to a report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Connecticut is a leader on tax relief for low- and middle-income earners. While other states cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations, Connecticut stands out for providing nearly $500 million in relief for individuals and families.
