The Fairfield Health Department, which has been working tirelessly since the pandemic began, will hold two vaccination clinics this week.

I know you’ve been hearing from me a little more frequently these days, but with Omicron spreading quickly, I want to be sure you have information that can help you safely navigate this holiday week in particular.

State Representatives Jennifer Leeper (D-Fairfield, Southport) and Cristin McCarthy Vahey (D-Fairfield) hosted an informational forum on juvenile crime last night with data analysts, advocates, and detectives.

It is my pleasure to share some good news today, to invite you to join Rep. Leeper and me tomorrow night for a conversation on criminal justice, and share a brief radio interview I did last week with WICC’s Melissa Sheketoff on the Surgeon General’s Youth Mental Health Advisory.

State Representatives Jennifer Leeper (D-Fairfield, Southport), Cristin McCarthy Vahey (D-Fairfield) and Laura Devlin (R-Fairfield, Trumbull), and State Senator Tony Hwang (R-Easton, Fairfield, Newtown, Weston, Westport) announced today that the $1.5 million state bonding request for the purchase and renovation of a new Operation Hope facility in Fairfield has been placed on the state's bonding commission's agenda by the Governor.

As we prepare for this year’s Thanksgiving, I wanted to reach out with gratitude for all of you.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend and have the opportunity for some respite, and perhaps even some time in the great outdoors.

There are a number of important community events coming up this weekend to add to your calendar.
