Dear Neighbor,

I hope this message finds you and your family well!

On Saturday, October 11th, join me for a community coffee hour from 10 - 11 am at Frankie's Diner. I look forward to connecting with Bridgeport residents and discussing priorities for this legislative session. I encourage all members of the community to attend! 
 

DEA Takeback Day

The drug epidemic in the United States is a clear and present public health, public safety, and national security threat. Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. When they do - it has dangerous and often tragic consequences. 

You can help fight that epidemic by participating in DEA Takeback Day. It's an opportunity for anyone to remove unneeded medications from their homes, preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction.

On October 25th, from 10 am to 2 pm, you can turn in excess drugs at State Police Troop G. This is just one of the many locations that will be open across the state. You can find details on the drop-off process and locations by using the DEA Collection Site Locator. Click HERE for more info.
 

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Each October, we bring awareness and honor the millions of lives affected by breast cancer. Throughout the month, we stress the importance of mammograms as the best way to screen for breast cancer, which is the second most common cancer among women. 

One in eight women in the United States will get breast cancer. More than 40,000 women die from breast cancer in the U.S. each year.

Let us stand with survivors, honor those we've lost, and continue fighting for a cure. 
 

As always, please feel free to contact me at 800-842-8267 or by email at Andre.Baker@cga.ct.gov. And for news and legislative updates, please visit my official Facebook page.

Sincerely,

Andre Baker
