I am thrilled to share some good news for Manchester! In the State Bond Commission's meeting on August 1st, they approved $25 million in funding for the Crumbling Foundations Assistance Fund. This funding will be used by the Connecticut Foundation Solutions Indemnity Company, INC. (CFSIC) to repair crumbling concrete foundations in Manchester and surrounding towns.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Manchester End of Session Town Hall last week. We had a productive conversation about several topics, including housing, car taxes, regionalism, insurance costs, and energy costs. If you were unable to attend and have a question, comment, or concern that you would like to share, please reach out to my office. Below you can find information on what the legislature did to address some of these issues during the 2025 session.

When I found out seniors and people with disabilities were going to lose transportation services in our area due to a federally funded grant ending - I took action and introduced HB 5479, which I got 16 of my colleagues to co-sponsor. This work ultimately led to $2.4 million being allocated in the budget to ensure Encompass would be saved.

I hope this message finds you and your family doing well. Join me and the Manchester Delegation on July 17th from 6 -7:30 p.m. at the Whiton Branch Library Auditorium for a Legislative Town Hall and post-session discussion.

Extreme Hot Weather Protocol activated.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month. There will be an inclusive workshop that will focus on addressing stigma, sharing evidence-based resources, and breaking the silence around men’s mental wellness. You'll learn practical tools to support your own mental health, help others, and challenge the stigma that prevents many—especially men—from seeking the care they deserve.
