In case you missed it, the West Hartford mayor announced this week its universal mask mandate and declaration of emergency related to COVID-19 will be terminated effective Friday, October 22, 2021 at 12:01 a.m.

On Wednesday, October 6, I hope you'll stop by for Community Office Hours from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Faxon Branch Library!

Please join me on Saturday, September 25 at 9 a.m. for a Community Clean-Up! 

This clean-up is in partnership with the Park Road Association Beautification Club to beautify our neighborhood in advance of the Park Road Parade on October 2! 

Climate change is here. Next Monday, September 20 at 6 p.m., please join me, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Katie Dykes and Connecticut Department of Transportation Deputy Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto for a discussion on the Transportation & Climate Initiative Program (TCI). 

This Saturday marks 20 years since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 innocent people lost their lives on the morning of September 11, 2001 and many more, including first responders, have died from health complications in the years following the attacks. September 11th remains one of the darkest and deadliest days in U.S. history.

I’m pleased to announce a policy change to address the car theft and break-ins in CT. I worked with our West Hartford Mayor, Town Manager, Chief of Police and state delegation to share legislative recommendations with a bi-partisan committee developing solutions for our state.

Today is National Women’s Equality Day, commemorating the passage of the 19th Amendment which granted women the right to vote. Today we celebrate the great strides we have made, in Connecticut and throughout the country, and reflect on the continued fight for gender equality and women’s rights.

With Tropical Storm Henri predicted to make a significant impact (high winds, potential for flooding) in Connecticut on Sunday, now is the time to start preparing in the event of power outages and flooding.
