I hope this email finds you and your loved ones safe and well. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the overwhelming support and concern I have received in the aftermath of the recent attack on me. Your messages, emails, and calls have been a source of great strength and comfort during this challenging time.

First, I want to assure you that I am on the mend and recovering. I am surrounded by a strong support network of family and friends. 

My dedication to serving you, our community, remains unwavering. This incident has only strengthened my resolve to work tirelessly on your behalf, addressing the issues that matter most to our constituents. I will continue to advocate for safer neighborhoods, better access to care, and improved education opportunities so that we can build towards a future that works for all of us.

As promised, I will be hosting '5th District Khanversations' on topics in the coming weeks. Please keep an eye out for the first Khanversation that will be on Public Safety and complete this form so I know which topics to host in the future.

I am also proud to announce that Speaker Ritter has chosen me to lead an Education commission that focuses on accountability measures on Education on Public, Magnet, and Charter schools. Once the commission starts to meet, I will send updates out here on our progress. Please see the press release here.

• Public Act 23-128 - Protecting medical providers from adverse actions taken by another state
• Public Act 23-52 - Allowing pharmacists to prescribe birth control
• Public Act 23-41 - Increasing access to reproductive care by college students at public institutions of higher education

When faced with the Supreme Court's terrible decision to turn over Roe v. Wade, Connecticut emerged as a national leader on reproductive rights. I'm so proud of everything our state has accomplished, and I look forward to passing even more bills protecting this fundamental right.

Sincerely,
