I had the pleasure of holding several wonderful conversations with you over coffee and also had the opportunity to visit and hear about the top issues facing local businesses in our community.

Join me tomorrow from 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. at CT Coffee in Wilton for the first of three Coffee & Conversation events this season. New regulations will take effect for some electric bikes, or e-bikes, on October 1.

I am excited to invite you to a series of coffee conversations where we can sit down, connect, and talk about how to make our community even stronger. The governor has spent the summer signing many bills into law that we passed this session.

No trains will be running on the Danbury Branch Line from Aug. 1 - Aug 17. You’ll discover new exit numbers on the Merritt Parkway soon.

We passed bills that will lead to safer streets, smarter infrastructure, and more modern, efficient services. Saturday is Connecticut Open House day, which means you will have free or reduced admission and exclusive access to certain sites.

We passed legislation that will lower costs and increase access to child care. We also advanced a bill to lower electric bills.

While I believe House Bill 5002 is rooted in good intentions, I voted against it over concerns that it imposes challenges that would be unworkable for our local context.

The House came together and passed a resolution to close the Medicaid deficiency and ensure continuity of care. We also took a step toward addressing the mental health crisis among teens using social media by passing a bipartisan bill.
