I'd like to offer a heartfelt congratulations to the Danbury Public Schools district for once again being recognized as a 2021 “Best Communities for Music Education School District” for its commitment to and support of music education!

I am pleased to announce the recently passed legislation that brings the state a step forward in online sports wagering. While the legislation still has some hurdles to overcome, Connecticut has the potential to join other states that have passed similar measures.

I am pleased to announce that Bridgeport was prioritized in the recently passed legislation that brings the state a step forward in online sports wagering. I’ve been a fierce advocate for gaming expansion and for legislation that will allow Bridgeport to reap the benefits of any expansion in the state. A sports betting facility will be located in Bridgeport and I look forward to future opportunities and jobs that this legislation will ultimately provide.

I am pleased that we were able to make sure that Bridgeport remained on the radar as this measure was debated and negotiated with affected parties across the state. We are one step closer to expanded gaming in CT. It is now incumbent upon us to follow these developments closely to see that our intent is carried out and for residents to benefit from future job opportunities.
