I want to invite you to attend the 2023 Women-Owned Business Day on Wednesday, April 26 at the Capitol - the first to be held in-person at the Capitol since 2019.

The Women's Bipartisan Caucus in the Connecticut General Assembly unveiled its 2023 legislative priorities during a press conference Wednesday at the State Capitol.

Happy International Women's Day to all!

The first extended cold weather of the winter is headed to Connecticut for the end of the week, so state’s severe cold weather protocol goes into effect beginning Thursday at noon and remains in effect until noon on Sunday. Temperatures are expected to plummet starting on Thursday night and drop into the single digits and possibly below zero degrees at night on Friday and Saturday.  Anyone in need of a safe place to stay warm is urged to call 2-1-1 to get connected to a nearby location, and transportation can be provided if needed.

Recently, I had the pleasure of serving on the leadership panel for 2023 Regional Legislative Breakfast hosted presented by the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce. I had the opportunity to discuss some of our leading bills for this session, budget highlights and many of the drivers and goals for economic development in our region. I want to thank Southern Connecticut State University, my alma mater, for doing an excellent job hosting 300 business leaders from across the New Haven region.

During the legislative session, we passed a historic, bipartisan bill aimed at addressing the immediate and long-term needs of the children's mental and behavioral health system in Connecticut. This is transformative legislation that will truly save lives.
