A number of new laws that were passed during the 2024 legislative session will go into effect Wednesday, January 1.

I’m excited to share some big news with you. Speaker of the House Matt Ritter has appointed me as the House Regional Energy Policy Liaison. This role puts Connecticut at the forefront of shaping energy policy across New England, and I’m honored to take on the challenge.

You may have heard about the outrageous new policy Anthem BCBS is rolling out in Connecticut (as well as NY and MO). They’re instituting an anesthesia cap, meaning if your procedure takes longer than they think it should, they won’t cover the anesthesia beyond that point. This could leave patients stuck with a massive bill—or worse, put pressure on doctors to rush surgeries.

This week, I had the honor of attending the ribbon cutting for Kind Works Inc,, a new nonprofit continuing the incredible work of Ben’s Bells CT.

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the National Conference of State Legislatures’ Nuclear Legislative Working Group’s winter meeting in Baltimore.

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you! After months of advocacy, I’m proud to announce that we’ve secured bonding for the much-needed revitalization of Parloa Park in Bethel. This funding has been added to the state’s bonding agenda and will be officially approved at the October 22nd meeting!
