The state is preparing for the upcoming November election, which will include a ballot question asking voters to permit absentee voting for all. I recently dug deeper into this measure on Channel 8's “This Week in Connecticut."

College students have until November 1 to apply for the Legislative Internship Program. It provides hands-on experience with lawmakers, the legislative process, policy-making, and much more.

Voters should support a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November that would allow every eligible voter who wishes to vote absentee.

Several state agencies are offering a lifeline, and federal resources are coming to Connecticut to help cleanup, rebuild, and recover from last month's historic floods.

I am disappointed the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority did not reconsider the recent utility rate increase.

Connecticut's annual Sales Tax-Free Week begins on Sunday, August 18 and runs through Saturday, August 24. It provides a chance to save money for back-to-school supplies, clothes, shoes, and more.

If you're like me, you saw an unwelcome rise to your electricity bill this month, I share your anger and frustration. That's especially true because I have fought constantly to rein in rate increases and impose accountability and transparency on Eversource and other public utilities.

I am proud of what my colleagues and I have achieved in our recent legislative sessions. We increased funding for higher and early-childhood education, mental health, and nonprofits while preserving historic tax cuts.
