Connecticut high school seniors with good grades can now earn automatic admission to several public and private colleges and universities through a new state initiative that makes applying to college easier.

About 90 measures passed during the 2025 legislative session take effect on October 1.

In a year when the CT House of Representatives considered some of the most consequential bills in decades, I'm proud to report I cast a vote on every single measure—a 100% voting record.

Connecticut’s Town Aid Road (TAR) grant program is growing, rising from $60 million to $80 million in the new state budget.

Join me on Thursday, September 25, for this event at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford. We'll screen the film, "Tennessee 11," then have a panel discussion.

Check out my most recent e-newsletter - Remembering September 11, veterans listening tour, TAR grants increase, ensuring vaccine access, Ellington scarecrow contest, TVFD equipment "wet down" ceremony, Kid Governor to visit Warehouse Point Library, the newest Ellington Wall of Honor recipient, & more.

Of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the September 11, 2001, attacks, 161 had ties to Connecticut. On this solemn anniversary, we reflect on the tragic events of 9/11 and honor every life taken. Their loved ones are in our hearts on this difficult day.

Local veterans - please join me and a panel of guests at a listening session in Ellington. The event seeks to gather input on pressing issues important to veterans, discuss legislation that passed in the 2025 legislative session, and discuss the implications of recent federal policy changes.
