Our committees are hard at work, drafting legislation and holding public hearings soon to allow anyone who would like to comment the chance to have their voice heard.

The House came back into session this week, where we will meet for the next three months to pass legislation to better our state. It was wonderful to see my colleagues and begin the work on behalf of our communities.

It's easier than ever to follow along and get involved. There are several resources you can utilize that will help you stay updated on the legislative process as it unfolds in Hartford.

A reminder that this event has been postponed - we will keep you posted on the new date and time soon. Stay safe out there!

With the ongoing storm cleanup we have decided to postpone tomorrow night's Pizza and Policy event. We will keep you posted on a new date and time. Please stay safe!

A reminder to please join me next Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 6pm at the Plainville Public Library's Chase Auditorium (56 E Main St., Plainville) for a pizza and policy event!

We will discuss the upcoming legislative session, my priorities, and the issues that are on your mind.

We will also be joined by representatives from Human Resources Agency (HRA) and Generation Power to share programs and resources.

Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a time to celebrate a life dedicated to service, courage, and hope. As we remember Dr. King’s powerful vision of equality and peace, we are called to carry his legacy forward through acts of kindness, justice, and community engagement.

It was an honor to be joined by Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, other elected officials, and members of our community this week to honor Roger Bernier, who bravely served our country in the Korean War. Roger put his life on the line for the freedoms that we enjoy today, and it is our duty to continue putting a spotlight on heroic members of our community like him.
