Last December, Mary Consoli knocked on my front door. Mary is a retired nurse who has been a long-time friend, and who has worked with the League of Women Voters' absentee ballot program for many years. She had a tale to tell.

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

✅ HB 5523 has passed the House!

High-quality and affordable early childhood care and education contribute to a robust economy and help ensure the success of families and future generations.

I'm committed to the health and well-being of our community’s families and children by joining my colleagues in the House of Representatives to unanimously pass HB 5003. This comprehensive legislation ensures mothers and children who are eligible for federal benefits, such as WIC, are enrolled in these programs with ease and confidence. This bill aims to reduce barriers to participation in WIC.

Veterans put their lives on the line for our country and, as a small way to say “thank you for your service,” the House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill that would support Veterans who have been disabled during service. As a Navy veteran, this bill was incredibly important to me.

As the elderly population steadily grows, there is an urgency to provide resources and assistance to this community. During Monday's session, we took a significant step to achieving that goal by passing HB 5001, a top priority for House Democrats this session.
