Dear Neighbor, 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Honoring the strength of survivors, supporting those currently fighting, and remembering those we’ve lost. As your representative, I’m committed to advocating for access to early detection, treatment, research funding, and community support for those fighting breast cancer. 

 
October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Everyone deserves to feel safe.💜
 
In Connecticut, we’ve made strides to protect survivors of domestic violence by passing critical legislation that strengthens protections and expands resources. From enhanced restraining orders to our state’s Red Flag Law, we’re ensuring that every survivor has the help they need to stay safe.
 
I will always stand with domestic violence survivors and work to build a future free from abuse. You are not alone.

Last week, I joined Governor Lamont, Norwalk mayor Henry Harry Rilling, and other local officials for an announcement of the future of Manresa Island. Norwalk natives Austin and Allison McChord have pledged to create a publicly accessible waterfront park on the island.

When completed, the former home of the decommissioned power plant will have a green space, walking trails with beach access and more!

Attention K-12 students - the annual CHET Dream Big! competition is now underway. To participate, interested students answer a question in the form of an essay, video, or a piece of artwork. Submissions from younger students will focus on what they want do when they grow older, and older students are asked to describe a lesson they’ve learned or a person who has impacted their lives.

The competition is open to all Connecticut K-12 students, and every child has the chance to participate. Please take a moment to visit the website to learn more, and then encourage your child to take part. More than 250 students will receive monetary prizes to be deposited into a CHET account!
