The General Assembly will be back in session starting February 7, 2024. To serve you effectively, I’d be most grateful if you could complete this quick survey so I can better understand your priorities and thoughts on issues. Decisions will be required for the many proposals that will be introduced in the upcoming legislative session and the survey will provide the information I need as I’m making those decisions.

Last week, I attended the National Conference of Legislators (NCSL) 2024 Forecast Conference. One of the most urgent issues we tackled was childcare because our ability to boost economic growth depends on it. With so many states facing worker shortages, we must find a way to help parents re-enter the workforce. According to the Population Reference Bureau, the United States stands out for its lack of family-friendly policies, and the availability and affordability of childcare is a key reason.

Much like supporting women-owned businesses, it’s important to support our local small businesses. By supporting small businesses, we’re investing in our communities, growing our taxpayer base, and stimulating Connecticut’s economy.

Recently, Attorney General Tong joined my fellow Representatives Meskers and Arzeno and I for an Elder Justice Forum at the Greenwich Library. The discussion focused on scams used to take advantage of vulnerable older adults. 

During this period, individuals can enroll for the first time, renew their coverage, and explore the various policy options to see which will be the most beneficial. 

I have a lot to share with you. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I helped out at Filling in the Blanks, I joined the Greenwich delegation in honoring Chief Strain, attended a number of community events, and more.
