On the eve of the session, I want to share with you my legislative priorities, which are the following:

I am outraged by the continued abuses carried out by ICE and enabled by the federal government — abuses that not only tear families apart, trample basic human rights, and sow fear in our communities, but also have turned deadly.

A major snowstorm is predicted this weekend. With climate change a reality, these weather events are expected to happen with greater frequency and intensity.

I attended several pop-up “Ice Out for Good” rallies in Bethel and Ridgefield over the weekend, along with many of you, in response to the extrajudicial killings by ICE of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Keith Porter Jr. of L.A., and the escalation of kidnappings and terror by this regime’s paramilitary force paid for with our tax dollars taken from our ACA health care tax credits.

I joined four other Connecticut legislators and more than 100 lawmakers from 29 states in urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to reject a proposed federal rule that would roll back protections for over 80% of the nation’s wetlands and waterways.

Year in Review: It's not an understatement to say 2025 was a LOT.

As we gather with loved ones and reflect on the year behind us, I want to thank you — truly — for your trust, your engagement, and your steadfast support.

On Friday, I attended the CT Coalition to End Homelessness and the Fairfield Coordinated Access Network (CAN) legislative roundtable conversation. This was a chance to discuss with community members, leaders, and providers about the systematic work necessary to address the urgent crisis of homelessness across Fairfield County.
