If you saw an unwelcome rise in your electricity bill this month, I want you to know that I share your frustration and I am reaching out to provide some background information and to let you know the steps I am taking to address what is happening.

It was an excellent evening of great food and catching up with neighbors at the 21st annual Taste of Southington on Wednesday.

This week I attended the annual Empowered to Lead Symposium at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, where it was a privilege to catch up with U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, fellow legislators, and hundreds of Connecticut teachers.

This week I attended the Southington Chamber of Commerce’s final Business After Hours Networking Event of the summer. Thank you to Hidden Valley Miniature Golf for hosting. As always it was a pleasure to catch up with Chamber members, meet new folks, and learn more about Southington’s business community. I am proud to advocate on their behalf.

It was a special privilege to present an official state citation to Town Manager Mark Sciota in recognition of his retirement and 29 years of service to Southington.

It was great to swing by the Southington Farmers Market today on the Town Green and visit with the local vendors and spend some time talking with old friends and making new ones while enjoying the relaxing atmosphere. I can't wait to enjoy the cherries I purchased from Gresczyk Farms.

Thank you to all who attended my recap of the 2024 Legislative Session on Wednesday at Southington Community Cultural Arts (SoCCA). As always, I enjoyed the conversation, answering your questions and hearing your concerns. That makes me feel even more equipped to continuing representing our great town at the Capitol thanks to everything I learn during these events.

Recently I visited DePaolo’s Furniture and offered friend and local business owner, Pamela DePaolo, my gratitude and congratulations for her family’s nearly 100 years of managing Southington’s premier family run furniture store.
