For the third time this summer, Governor Lamont has activated the Extreme Hot Weather Protocol in Connecticut. The protocol is in effect until at least 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

I'm proud to be recognized by the CT League of Conservation Voters as one of the new voices for the environment, supporting key policies on climate, clean energy, conservation, pesticides, waste, and environmental justice. I'm also proud of my 100% environmental score on bills that were important for the environment.

A recent allocation of state funding will go toward preserving open space and creating local community green areas throughout Connecticut.

My comments during a July 18 press conference in Deep River regarding the treatment of Hydrilla found in the Connecticut River.

As farmers face increasing threats from climate change to crops and rising costs to operate their farms, a series of new agricultural tax credits and grants have been put in place.

Governor Lamont signed legislation this week that puts patients first and holds insurance companies accountable.

Two bills passed by the legislature last month aimed at preserving Connecticut's environment were recently signed into law by Governor Lamont.

There has been false and misleading information on social media that has triggered fear among residents about the use of the herbicide Diquat to combat the growth of Hydrilla in the Connecticut River. It alleges federal and state agencies, scientists, and environmental advocates are intentionally harming rather than protecting the river and other waterways. In the face of a serious environmental threat from Hydrilla, it is important that the facts about the problem and the evidence-based method to eradicate it are accurate.
