I join my fellow members of the Connecticut General Assembly's AI Caucus in calling for a pause on the use and rapid installation of Flock cameras until the conclusion of the 2027 legislative session.

I am proud to share that for the 2026 legislative session, I received a 100% voting score from the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters in its 2026 Environmental Scorecard.

Last week I joined Governor Lamont, fellow legislators, and members of the Connecticut Tenants Union to demand that Alpha Capital come to the table and negotiate in good faith.

I was proud to be a part of Connecticut’s bipartisan delegation at the Future Summit, alongside young legislators from across the country who are working to move their states forward.

As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and vision that built our nation. Here in Connecticut, where the ideals of liberty and self-government took root, we are reminded that our history is not just something we inherit, it's something we continue to shape together.

My colleagues and I have submitted a letter to PURA opposing Eversource’s proposed rate increase, which could raise customer electric bills by approximately 11%, or as much as 17% if deferred storm restoration costs are included.

Earlier this week, I was proud to deliver a check for $136,839 in state funding to Salem to support education and provide property tax relief.
