Here at the Capitol, March is full of Public Hearings and Committee meetings to vote on bills.

Connecticut continues to face a crisis-level shortage of workforce and affordable housing.

The legislature’s two session days this week have resulted in some important results for Bridgeport and Fairfield as well as residents of our entire state.

Last Friday, Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) Commissioner, Garrett Eucalitto joined the Transportation Committee for an oversight hearing on the department’s activities.

Before I share information with you about some upcoming events, I wanted to remind many of you to stay safe this weekend as we face sub-zero degree temperatures, which brings increased risks to ourselves and our communities.

Next week, three of the committees I serve on, Transportation, Public Health, and Planning and Development, will hold their first public hearings!

This week, the work of the General Assembly is in full swing. In addition to committee votes, press conferences, and meetings with constituents and stakeholders, we will hold our first Session since opening day.

The 2023 Session kicked off on January 4th. Together with all of you, I look forward to what we can do to help keep our communities and our state healthy, safe, and strong.
