On Wednesday, the Connecticut Chapter of the Social Welfare Action Alliance and I hosted the third-annual People's Forum on what the priorities are for this session, especially when so many people are being threatened and harmed by the administration in Washington.

Sometimes we are in Labor … (Committee) into the middle of the night, hearing from workers who are forced to strike when employers undermine union negotiations by stalling and bad faith tactics to withhold basic fair worker protections and wages.

First, a big thank you to Mrs. Millspaugh’s second-grade class at the International School at Dundee for inviting me to participate in World Read Aloud Day!

Undoubtedly you've heard of the latest attempt out of Washington, D.C., to undermine our country and spike the economy by freezing all federal non-Social Security or defense-related grants.

We are hitting the ground hard and fast!

This week I joined Rep. Gillian Gilchrest, Sen. Gary Winfield, and over a dozen of my House colleagues with over 100 community members from the Connecticut For All Coalition at a press conference in support of the 2025 Equity Agenda.

I was among 17 legislators who attended a press conference on the state's housing crisis hosted by my colleague Eleni Kavros DeGraw, chair of the Planning & Development Committee, and housing advocates.

I was sworn in on Wednesday to serve my fourth term representing the 135th District at the state Capitol. I have never been more excited and honored to represent the residents of Easton, Weston and Redding.
