Rep. Delany Legislative Update 9/30
September 30, 2022Dear Friends and Neighbors,
These past few weeks have been tumultuous. Devastating weather has struck our territory and coastal communities, and the resulting damage has put lives in danger and ripped homes to their foundations. To anyone affected by these hurricanes, I offer my sincerest condolences, and I have added links to organizations within our community who are currently sending resources and personnel to the affected areas.
Our community is tough, and I am more resolved than ever to serve honorably as your State Representative. It my genuine hope the information in this week’s newsletter will be useful to you and your family.
This week I have outlined the new laws that will take into effect this weekend, the organizations and advocates I have worked with, and other important information.
We are also a little more than 6 weeks away from the mid-term election. If you have not already done so, I encourage to check to make sure you are registered to vote and that all your current information is up-to-date. You can double-check by clicking here.
ART CELEBRATION
Earlier this week I had an amazing time at the “Black in Color” event in downtown Stamford.
It was a fun-filled, family friendly day dedicated to celebrating black art and gospel music as well as honoring our local figures who have done so much for our community.
I would like to give a special shout out to Valerie Cooper. She was the honoree for the day, a wonderful mentor, and an inspiring pillar of our community!!!
Thank you also goes to the the Omicron Upsilon Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., The Cultured Pearl Foundation Inc., NAACP, and the Ferguson Library for making the event possible.
VOTER REGISTRATION AND RESOURCE DRIVE
I also spent time this week working with the Stamford and Norwalk chapter of Jack and Jill of America as they hosted a voting drive at the Faith Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church in Stamford!
I was so happy to help out, and It was an incredible time engaging with the people of our community!!
