This Wednesday was opening day of the 2026 Legislative session. My colleagues and I are gearing up for a busy short session, working hard to pass critical legislation through May 6th. It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve Bridgeport in the Connecticut General Assembly.

The Connecticut General Assembly will start the 2026 Legislative Session next week, on Wednesday, February 4th. I am looking forward to being back in the House Chamber and working for the residents of Bridgeport over the next several months. At any time over the next few months, if you would like to discuss your concerns and issues you hope we address during session, please reach out to me at any time.

A major snowstorm is predicted this weekend. This storm is currently predicted to drop the most snow we have seen in years.

The Connecticut General Assembly's legislative session is set to begin in the first week of February. As we prepare for the legislative session, I want to hear from you all about what issues matter the most to Bridgeport residents and the community. In this week's email, find information on how you can still apply for Access Health CT coverage, read about an update from the Department of Social Services on SNAP Benefits, and more.

In collaboration with the Social Equity Council (the Council), I will be hosting an informational meeting regarding a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NoFO) through the Council’s Revitalize and Reimagine (R2) Program.

I hope this message finds you and your family enjoying a happy and healthy holiday season and New Year. With the winter season and cold temperatures upon us, the state's severe cold weather protocol is in effect through January 4th. Find information on warming centers around Bridgeport further down in this email. In this message, find information on how you can still apply for Access Health CT coverage, learn how you can apply for Generation Power CT during this assistance cycle, and more.

I hope you are having a happy and healthy holiday season!

With a blast of arctic air expected to blanket Connecticut over the next several days, the state's severe cold weather protocol is in effect from Monday, December 29th, at 6 p.m., through Sunday, January 4th, at noon.

From my family to yours, I wanted to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones Happy Holidays. I hope you all have a season filled with peace, joy, and meaningful time spent with friends and family.
