First, I want to wish everyone a happy, safe and healthy new year. I'm looking forward to a productive 2026 representing the 37th District at the State Capitol.

Due to a system outage that may have prevented many customers from enrolling in health and dental coverage by the Dec. 15, deadline for coverage effective Jan. 1, Access Health CT is extending the enrollment deadline.
