Last Friday, I had the distinct privilege of attending the Safer Communities Summit, hosted by Senator Chris Murphy, to celebrate the one year anniversary of the signing of the Safer Communities Act, the first major piece of gun violence prevention legislation in nearly three decades. It was deeply powerful to hear from survivors and victims of gun violence including Nelba Márquez-Greene, Gabby Giffords, and several students who survived Parkland as well as community gun violence.

Happy Friday! It's been nice to catch up on some rest since our legislative session ended, but it's been lovely to be back in the 132nd District.

Happy Friday! It's hard to believe our legislative session ended Wednesday. After countless long nights, passionate debates, and bills passed, the House of Representatives adjourned for the last time this year. Though the session is over, my work is not. I'll still be traveling in our district meeting with constituents and planning for next year's session. Please reach out to me at any time, and I'll respond as soon as I can.

Today is the last day of our legislative session, and we will be working right up until midnight passing bills on behalf of the citizens of Connecticut. In the coming days, I will provide more information on some of the other bills we passed this week, but today I want to give you an overview of the budget we passed Monday night.

Happy Monday! We are now embarking on our 3 final days of the 2023 legislative session. We are expected to vote on the next biennium budget later tonight, which represents the bulk of the important work we do. Nonetheless, I also want to highlight a few upcoming events in Fairfield.

Happy Friday! There is less than one week left of our legislative session, and there is still much work left to get done, including the passage of our budget. The next few days will be long but critical for residents of Connecticut. Things are moving very quickly now so please don't hesitate to reach out about any policies you've been tracking.

Happy Friday! It's hard to believe that it is already Memorial Day weekend and summer is just around the corner. What this also means is that there is only a week and a half remaining in this legislative session. We got a lot of important work done this week and there is still a lot remaining (along with many very late nights). Things are moving very quickly now so please don't hesitate to reach out about any policies you've been tracking.

Monday, May 29 is Memorial Day, and Fairfield will hold its annual Memorial Day parade and ceremonies starting at 10 am. Memorial Day is a day of remembrance, thankfulness, and unity. While Memorial Day is a solemn day to honor and pay our respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, this parade always provides a beautiful tribute and opportunity for us to come together as a community.
