I am honored that House leadership reappointed me as the House Chair of the Public Safety and Security Committee. I am committed to ensuring, in a bipartisan manner, that our communities remain safe, resilient, and supported.

It was an honor to recognize Korean War Veterans from Ashford, Eastford, and Mansfield. It was great participating in the wet-down ceremony of a new fire truck in Mansfield. I am working with a great team on a plan to draw more tourists to the 50th District.

A number of new laws that were passed during the 2024 legislative session will go into effect on Tuesday, October 1st.

Today is Overdose Awareness Day, and it's important to reflect on such a harrowing issue that affects too many families every year.

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, whether it is taking the kids back-to-school shopping or treating yourself or your loved ones.

Several new laws that address many issues aimed at improving our great state will become effective on July 1st.

I'm excited to announce that with the support of Sen. Mae Flexer, the Windham-Tolland 4-H Camp will be receiving $1,000,000 in funds that will go to Emergency Dam Repairs.

I'm proud to announce that Senator Mae Flexer and I secured an additional $2 million in the spending stabilization bill, or Bill 5523, for Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam, bringing the two-year package of total state aid for the hospital to $17 million.
