I have shared pieces of legislation that have hit close to home this year. However, the passage of Public Act 21-78 was by far the most impactful. PA 21-78 strengthened protections for domestic violence victims and survivors.

This afternoon, I will be participating in a read along at Hall Memorial Library in Ellington. I will be reading "Ada Twist, Scientist" by Andrea Beaty, a book geared towards ages 5 through 9 years old that promotes creative and critical thinking. 

This Thursday, I will join Dr. Kevin Diekhaus and Dr. James Castellone for a discussion on common COVID concerns. We will talk about vaccinations, the impact of legislative policy on hospitals, and more.

The legislative process is often a slow build. Identifying an issue that is impacting the community is the easy part. From there, legislators must collaborate with a slew of different officials in order to develop a solution.

REMINDER - Tonight, I am hosting a discussion on Internet Safety and Vaping. This event aims to inform and educate children as well as their parents on these important issues.

Earlier today, I had the pleasure of joining Seth Bahler President of Oakridge Dairy, Governor Lamont, Commissioner of Agriculture Bryan Hurlburt, Joan Nichols from the Farm Bureau and many other ag advocates for a visit to Oakridge Dairy in Ellington.

This Thursday, September 30, I am hosting a discussion on Internet Safety and Vaping. This event aims to inform and educate children as well as their parents on these important issues.

Today, my colleagues and I met for a special session. The House voted in favor of extending the Governor's emergency powers.
