As House Chair of the Transportation Committee my work generally falls into two primary categories: safety and infrastructure. Both of these priorities rely heavily on funding, with much of it coming from the federal government. 

We are a week into the session and, needless to say, it's been extremely busy.

We are busy gearing up for the new legislative session set to begin Jan. 8. As we take a brief pause to celebrate the incoming new year, I want to wish everyone a safe, healthy and happy 2025, from my family to yours.

After six weeks (!!) of working with Meta to unlock my official Instagram account, at long last, I'm back in! With the exception of one post I was able to make when I charged up an old phone, I was completely blocked from accessing my own account.

But now that those quiet, social-media-free days are behind me I'll be able to use this account once again to share legislative updates, in-district events, and general info relevant to Ridgefield and the 111th district.

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! I know that holidays are not easy for everyone, and many of us are facing challenges that make it difficult to feel celebratory. I am taking this opportunity to reflect on my own gratitude, which, of course, is for my children and my partner, my family and close friends, and also for each of you. It is a genuine privilege to serve as your State Representative, and I am deeply thankful for your trust in me to continue to do so.

From Monday, Oct. 21 through Sunday, Nov. 3, Connecticut will offer early voting for the first time in a presidential election.

Early voting will be held at the Town Hall Lower Level Conference Room (400 Main St.).

The hours for early voting are 10am-6pm. Oct. 29 and Oct. 31 will have extended hours from 8am-8pm.

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.

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month begins, I’m thinking of all the families in our community who have been affected by this disease.

A number of new laws that were passed during the 2024 legislative session will go into effect on Tuesday, October 1st.
