Connecticut is about to experience very hot and humid temperatures during the coming days, so the state's Extreme Hot Weather Protocol will be activated at noon on Tuesday and remain in effect through noon on Sunday.

As part of the Manchester Delegation in the Connecticut General Assembly, I welcome the approval of millions of dollars in funding for the town by the State Bond Commission on Friday.

The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) recently announced grant awards for public schools across Connecticut through the HVAC Indoor Air Quality Grants Program, including Illing Middle School in Manchester, to make upgrades to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. 

I'm proud to say we passed a bipartisan spending stabilization plan that will ensure our two-year state budget's historic tax cuts are protected, and we invest in the priorities that matter to you.

April is Financial Literacy Month. Financial literacy is an empowerment tool and a foundational part of building a successful life. In 2023, the Connecticut General Assembly passed a bipartisan bill that requires students to complete a half-credit course in personal financial management and financial literacy in order to graduate from Connecticut public high schools. It also adds personal financial management and financial literacy to the state’s required program of instruction for public schools.

The Community Investment Fund 2030 Board (CIF) approved $3.5 million for a new downtown library on Tuesday, which is a landmark victory for the people of Manchester.

March is Women’s History Month, a time dedicated to honoring the vital role women have played in American history. It’s also a time to celebrate their achievements and learn more about their contributions. This year’s theme is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion,” which recognizes women throughout the country who believe a positive future can only be achieved by eliminating bias and discrimination from our society.

I am thrilled to share exciting news about my commitment to promoting the health and well-being of our community’s families and children. In response to the need for improved childhood nutrition, we are crafting comprehensive legislation that ensures mothers and children who are eligible for federal benefits are enrolled in these programs with ease and confidence.
