All year round, but particularly this month, together let’s bring attention to and raise awareness about the tragedy caused by breast cancer and domestic violence.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time for reflection on trends in breast cancer research, prevention, and treatment.

On a beautiful fall morning just like today, tragedy struck 23 years ago as an orchestrated terrorist attack on our country took place.

It is one of the those days we all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when the news of the attack broke. For those not old enough to remember or those not yet born, it is a day that will live in history books and lessons forever.

Connecticut's annual summer Sales Tax-Free Week on clothing is back, and this year it runs from Sunday August 18 through Saturday August 24.

Started by the legislature over two decades ago as a way to help families with back-to-to-school shopping needs, the state's Sales Tax-Free Week offers everyone a chance to save money on new clothing and footwear.

Almost 100 new state laws passed by the legislature aimed at improving the quality of life in our great state took effect July 1.

A few highlights of the new laws include:

With 110 state parks and 32 state forests, the summer recreation and tourism season offers state residents and visitors numerous outdoor options to enjoy.

With the two-year $26 billion budget passed by the legislature last year remaining strong and in balance, we were able to make much needed new investments in important areas such as higher education, early childcare, mental health services and our non-profit community.

Public safety is one of government's most important responsibilities, and legislation passed by the House of Representatives takes aim at stopping the growing threat of "street takeovers."

A recent phenomenon that coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, the brazen public safety threat known as "street takeovers" have become a growing national issue, including a number of dangerous incidents in Connecticut towns.

For the first time, residents can take advantage of the state's new early voting law with Connecticut's April 2 presidential preference primaries.

Early voting is the result of 2023 legislation and a state Constitutional amendment overwhelmingly approved by Connecticut voters in 2022.
