I hope you can join local leaders and me at West Hartford's 4th Annual Black History Month Breakfast at the Noah Webster Library on Thursday, February 26th, from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The event will include a meaningful and engaging conversation with local community leaders whose stories and service have helped shape West Hartford.

I hope you can join us tonight for a West Hartford Legislative Delegation Town Hall beginning at 6 p.m., right on the heels of opening day of the 2026 legislative session on Wednesday, which included the governor's address, and a regular session today. I look forward to seeing you.
