Legislative Update- 6/7/23
June 7, 2023It has been just over a week since we wrapped up what has been my first legislative session as a state representative here in Connecticut. I intentionally took some time to reflect on all that I have learned, experienced and shared in this new role & what it has meant to me. The strongest and most consistent sentiment I feel is gratitude. I am grateful for all of those who have mentored me, befriended me or guided me within the legislature. I am forever thankful to my constituents, neighbors and family who have trusted me to be their voice in Hartford, always serving as my “true north” through each and every vote. Never have I worked in such an incredibly diverse, enriching and supportive environment. I am a better person and legislator because of the vast experiences each person brings and shares in this chamber.
Legislative Update- 5/25/2023
May 31, 2023It’s been a very busy but inspiring few weeks since my last newsletter to you. We in the General Assembly are now down to the last few weeks of the regular legislative session, working to pass important bills and negotiate an equitable and impactful state budget. I’m proud of the legislation I have already supported with my vote and look forward to continuing to do so as we come to the conclusion of the session in early June.
