This week, in between House sessions, I had the opportunity to host a group of politically engaged young adults at the Capitol.

The State Conference NAACP Youth & College Division and I, are honored to invite you to attend our inaugural Youth & College Legislative Day on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford. You can register for the event here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduoZSHvouxhc5LGHnPp7PFnJgcQ63…

Spring is coming. No, really. It always does. This year, that means the end of the 2025 legislative session, June 4th, is just around the corner. At the very least, I will be fighting to ensure that good health care, childcare, and education are consistent here in the 46th District. As a native of Norwich, you can be sure of my commitment to making your lives a little better.

I am proud to announce an Easter Egg Hunt at Jenkins Memorial Park in Norwich on Saturday, April 19th, beginning at noon! The event is free and all children 12 and under are welcome.

The warmer temperatures are a signal that Spring is here, and so is the rain we'll be getting over the next few days. Both are signs that the 2025 legislative session is heating up.

Affordable and accessible childcare is essential for Connecticut families and businesses to thrive. H.B. 5003, a top legislative priority for House Democrats this session, will expedite funding for families, attract and retain childcare educators, and enhance both new and existing childcare facilities.

As Vice Chair of the Black and Puerto Rican Caucus (BPRC), I am proud to announce that we will be hosting a public hearing on Monday, March 3, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. via Zoom and at the Legislative Office Building Room 1E to allow constituents an opportunity to discuss and offer ways in which policy can enhance their communities.

I hope this email finds you well. Please be mindful of the temperatures outside, especially at night. A severe cold weather protocol was activated for Connecticut on Sunday.
