2025 Legislative Session begins

January 10, 2025

The 2025 legislative session kicked off at the State Capitol on Wednesday and I am beyond grateful to serve as your state representative in Stamford. As only the second woman to hold this seat, I am honored to be following in the footsteps of former Representative Moira Lyons who served admirably for 24 years from 1980-2004.

Opening Day at the Capitol symbolizes our dedication and commitment to serving our community.  I look forward to working collaboratively with my colleagues to address the challenges ahead and create meaningful progress for the people of Connecticut. We have plenty of work to do, and the Office of Legislative Research just released its report of important issues the General Assembly may face this year.
