Last week, we passed a deal between the state and Personal Assisted Care (PAC) workers that protects not only their wages but also their physical well-being. PAC workers help care for our elderly, sick, disabled, and those with the most need for a helping hand.

We are at the halfway point of the session, so it's become clear what our priorities for this year are. As the Vice Chair of the General Law Committee, I can clearly see which bills will benefit millions of our Connecticut residents.

Today, I was honored to speak at the Press Conference of the Reproductive Rights Caucus laying out our priorities for the year's legislative session.

Today, we approved $17 million in additional cold weather heating assistance funds – many residents and families who receive assistance through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) or Operation Fuel will have access to funds to ensure they can heat their homes through the cold weather season.

I will be attending a legislative coffee hour and a legislative forum for the Bridgeport Delegation. This is a great way to see me in person to tell me your concerns and priorities for the upcoming legislative session.

Connecticut has launched its new jobs portal which is aimed at assisting state residents — and those seeking to move here — in the process of finding a job.

Operation Fuel's energy assistance program opened this week for the Winter/Spring season. Applications will be accepted until March 1 unless available funds run out before that date.

I’m proud to announce the state employee health plan has been changed to be more inclusive and remove discriminatory barriers to family planning for LGBTQ+ Plan members.
