I am proud of the work we have done in the Legislature to expand preschool and early intervention programs for our youngest students. Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance’s incredible advocacy on behalf of the state’s children is so impressive.

We need voices, help, interest and obvious demonstration to tell people that all children’s lives matter. I was proud to be part of the Juvenile Justice Reform March in New Haven.

Hillhouse and Wilbur Cross High School went head to head in Thursday’s Elm City Bowl on the field. Hillhouse had not played a home game on Bowen Field in three years. The field closed for much needed renovations, which took longer than expected.

102 champions graduated the WorkPlace’s Platform 2 Employment program. The legislature originally funded the program in 2014. I was so proud to be part of the celebration at Gateway.
