Mary Fortier

I hope this email finds you and your family well. I had a busy week at the capitol in a Joint Session for Governor Lamont's Budget address and doing committee work. I am spending my time in meetings and hearings, where my colleagues and I are reviewing bills and working to move them through the legislative process. We are continuing to keep a close eye on what is happening in Washington, D.C. and the impacts it may have on our governance at the state level. I am always committed to working for and protecting the residents of Bristol and across Connecticut.

• Special Education Relief
• More Housing, Reduced Homelessness
• Affordable Childcare
• Protecting Our Environment

These priorities reflect our recognition that special education is the biggest budget wildcard for municipalities, increased housing and decreased homelessness are critical to the state's future economic health, rising costs and a reduced workforce are making childcare hard to obtain for many families, and protecting our environment has never been more critical.
