November is newly proclaimed Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in Connecticut.
 
Alzheimer’s is a disease that affects about 90,000 Connecticut residents, and for every person living with the disease, there are countless family members, friends, and care partners who are providing ongoing support.
 
During the 2025 session, we passed legislation to  ensure insurance coverage of biomarker testing starting next year and  established Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia Task Force to examine needs and  review available services and also develop a State Alzheimer’s Plan.

 

Next Tuesday is Veterans Day. To the brave Americans who have helped preserve our freedom, the we thank you for your service.
 

The House will be in special session Wednesday November 12th. Stay tuned for updates on key issues we’ll be tackling.
