I want to wish a Happy 4th of July to everyone!

New laws went into effect on Tuesday, July 1st.

Tomorrow, June 19th, is Juneteenth. Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in our country.

Wednesday night marked the end of my first session at the State Capitol. It has been an honor and a privilege to represent the residents of the 148th district.

Good morning, and happy Mental Health Awareness Month. I write to inform you that my colleagues and I have been hard at work passing bills this session. In the past few days, we passed a workers’ compensation bill that would have resulted in a potential 265% increase in workman’s compensation had we not acted, saving CT businesses millions of dollars.

On Wednesday, the 50th Anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, with the fall of Saigon, the Connecticut House of Representatives unanimously passed (146-0-5) what we call the “HERO Act.”

The HERO Act (HB 6442) is the result of a bipartisan effort and is a comprehensive package of legislation that reflects collaboration, listening, and a deep, collective respect for those who wore the uniform and served our country.

Please see the press release below from Sen. Pat Billie Miller's office regarding funding headed to Stamford's East Side for affordable housing.

Today, I supported HB 7212, a bill that strengthens Connecticut's TRUST Act and reinforces our commitment to due process, fairness, and community.

Affordable and accessible childcare is essential for Connecticut families and businesses to thrive. H.B. 5003, a top legislative priority for House Democrats this session, will expedite funding for families, attract and retain childcare educators, and enhance both new and existing childcare facilities.
