Dear Neighbor,

I hope this message finds you and your family well! It was a productive week at the Capitol with the House back in session on Wednesday. During our session, we debated and voted on executive and legislative nominations including on the Utility Commissioners of the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) and the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Airport Authority.
 

This week we celebrated Health Equity Week across Connecticut. This is a time to reflect on the importance of addressing disparities in healthcare and ensuring all residents have access to the care they need. Health Equity Week is a reminder of our ongoing commitment to fight for accessible and affordable healthcare for everyone. Together, we can work toward a healthier and more equitable future for all.
