New London Public Schools had a great kick off to the new year at the NLPS Convocation to be held at the New London High School Multi-Magnet Campus Auditorium! It was great seeing the excited faces and energy for the upcoming 24/25 year.

Last weekend we experienced devastating flooding in Western Connecticut that left businesses destroyed, infrastructure damaged, and two lives tragically lost. I hope that you and your loved ones did not experience the worst of this storm. Today, I want to give you updates on our recovery efforts.

Whether we like them, dislike them, are unsure about them or not, violence on anyone no matter what, when, or who, is wrong. Very wrong.

On this week's Rollin' with Rep. Nolan, I was joined by Maya Sheppard, executive director of Hearing Youth Voices, a group that organizes with young people for social justice change, and Mirna Martinez, executive director of Southeastern Connecticut Community Land Trust, a nonprofit that holds land in trusts for greater community purposes like community spaces, affordable home ownership, growing food, and open space.

I hope all of your friends, families and neighbors had a great day as we came together to celebrate and fellowship.

This week on Rollin with Rep Nolan I visited SCADD (Southeastern Council on Alcoholism and Drug) Dependence, Inc. SCADD provides comprehensive screenings for substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions.
