I am proud to have joined with my fellow Hartford legislators in calling on Secretary of the State Denise Merrill to ensure there are enough drop boxes for the November 3rd election. It is important for citizens to feel safe and secure when voting during the pandemic.

Our letter to Secretary Merrill:

Progressive Democrats roll out 2020 agenda.

State investigating former Clay Arsenal landlord

As we wrapped up the last six months of work, one of the most talked about issues was the state budget, but equally important are many measures we passed that may be of interest to you, some of which have already been signed by Governor Lamont.

I am pleased to report the House passed legislation that will facilitate minority teacher recruitment and retention across the state.

The House passed a budget which is responsible, stable, and funds the Rainy Day Fund at historic levels. With significant investments in education, job growth, and economic development throughout the state, the budget holds the line on spending.

After many hours of debate over the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) legislation, the House of Representatives passes the bill, which has already been approved by the Senate.

In 2013 both the House and Senate unanimously passed the Trust Act, setting conditions for state and local law enforcement authorities for voluntarily cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials seeking to detain and deport undocumented immigrants.
