Dear Neighbor,

This Thanksgiving week, I wish you and your families, happiness, peace, resilience, and connection. If life is difficult right now, I wish you solace and support. Among my many blessings, are the ideas, conversations, challenges, and hopes all of you share with me in my service as your State Representative.

I am honored and thankful to share that Speaker of the House Matt Ritter has re-appointed me to serve as our state's Public Health Committee Chair. Working together with all of you, we will work for more accessible, affordable, and equitable healthcare, focused on prevention.

In the weeks ahead, I will be meeting with various stakeholders and many of you to hear directly about your ideas for the upcoming legislative session, which begins January 8th. Please reach out at any time via e-mail, my office number at 860-240-8362 or my cell phone at 203-522-3037.
