First, a big thank you to Mrs. Millspaugh’s second-grade class at the International School at Dundee for inviting me to participate in World Read Aloud Day!

Undoubtedly you've heard of the latest attempt out of Washington, D.C., to undermine our country and spike the economy by freezing all federal non-Social Security or defense-related grants.

We are hitting the ground hard and fast!

This week I joined Rep. Gillian Gilchrest, Sen. Gary Winfield, and over a dozen of my House colleagues with over 100 community members from the Connecticut For All Coalition at a press conference in support of the 2025 Equity Agenda.

I was among 17 legislators who attended a press conference on the state's housing crisis hosted by my colleague Eleni Kavros DeGraw, chair of the Planning & Development Committee, and housing advocates.

I was sworn in on Wednesday to serve my fourth term representing the 135th District at the state Capitol. I have never been more excited and honored to represent the residents of Easton, Weston and Redding.

I am so pleased so many of you have already reached out and have been meeting with me to propose legislation that I am submitting per your suggestions for the 2025 session, which begins Wednesday.

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