Access Health CT (AHCT), Connecticut’s official health insurance marketplace, has announced that the final deadline to enroll in a health or dental plan for 2026 has been extended to Saturday, January 31.

As 2025 comes to a close, there is no better time to express my gratitude for your support over the past year.

We've had our share of challenging moments.

We've had our share of victories, too.

This week, the U.S. Senate failed to extend federal Affordable Care Act subsidies. As a result, Governor Lamont announced that the state expects to spend roughly $70 million next year to make up for the loss. These funds will come from a $500 million contingency reserve we created during last month’s special session to address potential federal cuts to safety-net programs.

It's cold now, and it's going to get colder. The state's severe cold weather protocol went into effect for the first time this year on Thursday and will continue through Tuesday at noon.

We are thankful to call the great State of Connecticut home.

I am thankful for you and grateful for your support!

I thought we had a very productive special session this week, and I'm proud of the work we accomplished for the residents of Connecticut, from addressing our housing crisis to cementing our commitment to children's behavioral health care and a lot more.

I have some good news to share: Connecticut's SNAP recipients will have their November allocations by next week.

Electric Boat's acquisition of the mostly vacant Crystal Mall in Waterford is just wonderful news for the area.
