Beginning on Sunday, March 1, important changes to Connecticut law will take effect regarding how the state will issue SNAP benefits. The state is offering financial relief to eligible residents with student loan debt.

It was an honor to join my colleagues on Wednesday at the State Capitol as we officially began a new legislative session.

The House returns for a new legislative session on February 4. Access Health CT’s extended enrollment deadline runs through Saturday, January 31. Free help to sign up is available online, in person, and over the phone.

The governor crafted a $170 million plan to help lower health insurance costs, expand access to food assistance, and prevent some of our most vulnerable neighbors from losing their housing.

The state is committing $70 million to offset cuts to Affordable Care Act subsidies, shielding thousands of families from a spike in health care costs.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Bridgeport this Thanksgiving. I am thankful for the trust you place in me and for the opportunity to serve this incredible community.

I was proud to join the legislature in a special session to debate several important bills including housing, children's behavioral health, and setting aside state funding to offset federal budget cuts.

All Connecticut SNAP recipients have access to their FULL November benefits on their EBT cards.
