Every hearing impaired person communicates differently. School districts and families need to work together to ensure that emergency plans are in place for children with hearing loss. As a member of the Education Committee, I am ecstatic to see important legislation addressing this issue, moving forward.

Connecticut is taking important steps to help us address our environmental and energy challenges with innovative ideas.

In observation of Food Allergy Week, Sen. Lesser and I held a press conference today urging support/passage of SB 706, An Act Concerning Epinephrine Auto Injectors. After a decade of advocating for safe and inclusive food allergy policies in schools, in our community and in businesses, I am proud to now, as a legislator, be able to help guide Connecticut’s statewide healthcare policies to support parents and together bring this important issue to the forefront.

I am supporting a measure to increase access to life-saving epinephrine auto injectors and working to raise awareness of food allergies for the 21st annual Food Allergy Awareness Week, May 12-18. One of my top priorities is supporting measures that raise awareness and address the growing public health concern of life-threatening food allergies.

I am pleased the house passed a measure to require the Office of Early Childhood to develop a document concerning dissemination of information about developmental milestones experienced by children from birth to age three and information on how to access the Child Development Infoline.

Proud to welcome Branford High School students to the Student Manufacturing Connection Fair at the State Capitol.

Proud to stand with my colleagues, advocates, families and several champions advocating and raising awareness about Autism.

The April 15th deadline to file your state and federal income taxes is fast approaching.
