Join Me on the Caregiver Roadshow!
April 24, 2024On Saturday, May 4 at 10am, I would love for you to join me for a Caregiver Roadshow done in partnership with the AARP at the Newfield Library (775 Central Ave. Bridgeport, CT).
We will have an important conversation about our vital caregivers, who provide some of the most critical services to our loved ones. We will discuss work being done by the legislature to help you, available resources and how to access these services, and the issues that matter most to you.
This Week's Legislative Update
April 19, 2024Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, street takeovers have become a national issue, including here in Connecticut. This cannot become the new normal. These takeovers by the illegal use of all-terrain and other types of vehicles, pose a significant threat to public safety, endangering participants, innocent bystanders, and law enforcement officials.
On Wednesday, the House of Representatives took bipartisan and unanimous action to help cities and towns regain control of their streets as we voted 148-0 to pass HB 5413 to control takeovers, which have proven to be a concern for many of our residents.
A Commitment to Childcare Affordability
April 4, 2024House Democrats have made it a top priority during this legislative session to address the issue of childcare affordability. HB 5002 focuses on making childcare more accessible and affordable for families through long-term strategic investments. This is a significant measure that could positively impact many families in our community.
