POW MIA Recognition Day
Join me today in pausing to honor the courage and sacrifice of those who were prisoners of war and those who are still missing in action.
As a legislator, and a fellow American, I carry deep gratitude for the families who live with uncertainty every day. Your strength reminds us of the cost of freedom and the promise we owe: to never forget.
Here in Connecticut, we join the nation in remembering the names, the stories, and the faces behind the uniform. Their absence is felt, their service remembered, and their return always hoped for.
To every Connecticut family who bears this burden: always remember that you are seen, you are honored, and we will always keep the light on.

Access Health CT Benefits Change
If you're insured through the Access Health CT exchange, you may have recently received a postcard in the mail—and it's worth paying attention to.
People who receive tax credits or subsidies for their affordable health care plans could see those benefits change or even disappear. This small piece of mail could be alerting you to major changes coming to your health insurance costs.
It’s important to review your current plan now because what you’re paying this year might not be the same next year.
Visit AccessHealthCT.com/get-help to make sure your information is up to date. You can also sign up for text updates or call Access Health CT directly at 1-855-901-2428.
More information will be coming soon—so keep an eye out and stay informed.

Automatic Admission to Some CT Colleges and Universities
Governor Ned Lamont is reminding Connecticut high school students that earning good grades can lead to automatic admission to several public and private colleges and universities through a new state initiative that makes applying to college easier.
Launched in 2022, the Connecticut Automatic Admission Program (CAAP) is available to all graduating seniors in the state who have at least:
- A 3.0 weighted GPA or
- A 2.75 unweighted GPA
With just one application, students are automatically admitted to 10 participating colleges and universities, and the program eliminates common barriers by waiving application fees, essays, and recommendation letters. CAAP is administered by the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) system in partnership with the nonprofit organization Common App, which helps streamline the college application process for eligible students.

Participating colleges and universities include:
- Central Connecticut State University
- Eastern Connecticut State University
- Southern Connecticut State University
- Western Connecticut State University
- Albertus Magnus College
- Goodwin University
- Mitchell College
- University of Bridgeport
- University of Hartford
- University of New Haven
After students apply through the Common App, eligible applicants will receive acceptance letters notifying them of their admission and encouraging them to enroll in one of the participating schools. The process requires only one application form and has no application fees.
The application period for Connecticut high school seniors planning to start college in the 2026-2027 academic year is currently open and will remain so until May 1, 2026.
All high school students in Connecticut are encouraged to take advantage of this valuable opportunity. Click here for more details and application instructions.
