Yesterday, I received an award from Open Doors Fairfield County to commend my involvement in co-creating the End Homelessness Caucus. I am grateful for this honor and promise to continue working to eradicate homelessness in Connecticut.

One of my legislative priorities will have a public hearing in the Judiciary committee next Wednesday. If passed, SB 1542 will raise the age for arrest of a child under certain circumstances, from ten to twelve years in 2026, and from twelve to fourteen years in 2028, and restrict the use of handcuffs on children under fourteen.

If you decide to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this weekend, please be safe and do not drive impaired.

There are several ways to enjoy this holiday responsibly:

I had the honor of sitting down with Antonio Matta, a 10th grader at Brien McMahon High School, for an interview about my experience as a Black leader, as well as the importance of Black history locally and nationwide. Click the link below to watch the interview.

On Wednesday, I cohosted an event called Let's Discuss Youth Justice in Norwalk and Across the State. The purpose of this event was to bring local youth services organizations together to brainstorm the different ways we can help younger individuals in our community. Thank you to the Connecticut Justice Alliance for collaborating with me to make this important event happen, and to everyone who was able to attend.

I am partnering with the Connecticut Justice Alliance for an event called Let's Discuss Youth Justice in Norwalk and Across the State. I will lead a discussion about ensuring that all our children’s needs are being met across Connecticut.

On Thursday, the End Homelessness Caucus held a press conference to outline our legislative priorities for the ongoing session.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Every day is a privilege to work for you, and represent our district. Wishing you all a day full of love and kindness.
