Today, in the House, we passed a historic bipartisan bill aimed at addressing the immediate, intermediate and long-term needs of the children's mental and behavioral health system in Connecticut, a priority during the 2022 legislative session.

Childcare workers have always been an essential part of our economy. While we have done much in recent years to support them, we can clearly can do even more to help increase pay, hire and retain quality staff, and increase the number of kids programs can support. I was happy to offer my support at a rally earlier this week.

There is a childcare crisis in Connecticut - I join with colleagues, childcare providers, and parents across the state in calling for immediate assistance so that childcare centers continue their indispensable work.

The continuing fight to make our state's tax system fair and equitable has gotten a big boost through our Speaker, Matt Ritter.

Our common fight against the Covid-19 pandemic has been going in the right direction recently.

The mental health and well-being of our state's youth and families has been a leading priority of mine. While we saw a rise in depression, anxiety, self-harm, and other forms of distress in young people prior to the pandemic, the increased isolation and uncertainty that has come from the past two years has exacerbated this issue.
