Starting January 1, the supply portion of electric bills for Eversource will increase. I want to share the resources available to help this winter.

I was proud to join my House colleagues to approve legislation preserving access to health care at Waterbury Hospital. We voted in favor of a deal for the University of Connecticut Health Center to buy the hospital for $13 million.

Work is in full swing on a sprawling Amazon fulfillment center that will bring in an estimated 1,000 full-time jobs to Waterbury and Naugatuck.

Governor Ned Lamont announced $3 million in emergency state funding for Connecticut Foodshare to assist residents expected to lose access to federal food assistance. 

The state approved approximately $1 million for CT Renaissance to purchase the McAuliffe Center. This funding will expand access to essential services that help individuals on the path to recovery and stability.
