My colleagues and I delivered on our promise to lower taxes for those who need the most help. According to a report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Connecticut is a leader on tax relief for low- and middle-income earners. While other states cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations, Connecticut stands out for providing nearly $500 million in relief for individuals and families.

Had a great time at Sailfest New London City of New London, Connecticut. The New London Talent Show was amazing....so happy to see the NLT Alumni return with the New Kids on the block. Awesome vendors, and fun amusement rides.

As House Chair of Veterans & Military Affairs I am proud of our committee members helping get these important bills passed. This is just the start; we must continue to fight to help make the Iives of those who sacrificed for our country better. Thank you for your service.

I had the great opportunity to do our first End of Session Wrap up with State Representative Christine Conley and State Representative Aundré Bumgardner in the 41st District at Union Baptist Church in Mystic. Thank you to everyone who came out. We had some great conversations in regards to legislation, recommendations, and requests.

This week, I had the great opportunity to attend the signing ceremony of Governor Ned Lamont signing our state budget. I am grateful to State Representative Toni Walker, State Senator Catherine Osten, House, and Senate Leadership and several other legislators, staff, and administration that worked tirelessly to present the budget package.

This year's Legislative Session started off with a tremendous loss. We leaned on each other and found ways to smile while fighting for the citizens of Connecticut. I hope we made you proud, Q.

Big thanks to Save A Suit & Max Cares Foundation for coming out to collect donations of professional attire that will be donated and given to veterans. We collected over 250 Suits, shirts shoes ties etc that can now be used to give veterans a little relief. Thank you also to State Representative Dorinda Borer and State Representative Kurt Vail for all their help and guidance.

As we look around the world this week, we are reminded again that freedom comes at a great cost. Throughout our history, brave Americans have stepped forward to defend our liberties — willing to pay the price to keep our country safe.
