The state is offering financial assistance to eligible Milford residents who made student loan payments last year.

It was an honor to join my colleagues on Wednesday at the State Capitol as we officially began a new legislative session.

You are warmly invited to attend a community celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and impact on Sunday, January 18 at 4 p.m. at Milford City Hall.

The state has announced a major step forward in easing the burden of medical debt, eliminating some or all outstanding medical bills for approximately 40,000 Connecticut residents.

As we welcome a new year, several laws that we passed in the last legislative session took effect on January 1, 2026.

The governor has put a plan forward to deliver a critical lifeline to Connecticut residents hit hardest by recent federal budget cuts. This proposal includes millions for health care.

The state is committing $70 million to offset cuts to Affordable Care Act subsidies. The funding will shield thousands of families from huge increases expected in the new year.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. There will be two free Thanksgiving Day meals in Milford for anyone in need.
