With $12.71 billion in manufactured goods exports in 2020, manufacturers help drive Connecticut’s economy. Did you know there are an average of 158,000 manufacturing employees in our state? I was proud to support a state budget and other legislative initiatives to bolster and expand the industry.

This weekend, several new laws in Connecticut will go into effect on October 1. These laws are a result of my colleagues' hard work during the 2022 session.

Connecticut continues to make sound financial decisions that will strengthen our state long term. State Comptroller Natalie Braswell announced that her office will transfer $3.1 billion into the rainy-day fund.

State Representative Jennifer Leeper (D-Fairfield) is proud to announce that the town of Fairfield has been awarded grant funding through the state’s Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP).

I hope that your fall is off to a nice start. I wanted to give you all an update on the I-95 Tree Cutting issue with DOT that occurred over the summer. I have continued to bring DOT’s attention to the issue and have been working to find solutions on multiple fronts.

I hope you had a safe and restful Labor Day weekend.

It is the end of August, which means that summer is coming to a close and our students, teachers, and school staff are all heading back to the classroom. While I'm sad to see summer go, this is my favorite time of year.
