I want to wish you and your family a very safe and prosperous 2024! I also want to thank you all for your support throughout 2023. The next legislative session starts on February 7th. I look forward to serving you and addressing issues that affect our community.

It's been an honor and a privilege to represent our beautiful coastal corner of Southeastern Connecticut – Groton, Mystic, and Stonington at our State Capitol. These towns have seen numerous successful initiatives and projects this year, and I'm excited to continue working hard for you in the year ahead.

A big thank you to Superintendent Johnston and his wife Mrs. Johnston for the invite to their wonderful Holiday Open House at Coast Guard Academy Quarters One. It was an honor to attend alongside my colleague State Representative Anthony Nolan, Mayor Mike Passero, and community members.

Our friend, Cranberry, rescued by Mystic Aquarium earlier this year, has been rehabilitated and was released in Rhode Island this week.

As you may be aware, Governor Ned Lamont has decided to temporarily postpone the proposed ban on the sale of gas-powered vehicles in Connecticut by 2035. While this initiative remains a top legislative priority, its implementation will be carefully considered in the upcoming session in 2024.
