The Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS), in consultation with the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), this week announced that $8.8 million in special food assistance benefits is scheduled to be distributed Sunday, August 13, 2023, to the families of 57,313 children under age 6 who are enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

It’s that time again when we start winding down the summer and begin back-to-school preparations; I want to share news and events that will ease that transition for the upcoming school year.

I have enjoyed attending in district events and spending time with my family.

This month was filled with extreme and deadly weather events worldwide- including here in Connecticut. I will continue to take action and fight to pass legislation that protects our state's environment and citizens.

I hope you are enjoying Summer and the warm weather that accompanying this season!

Below I have provided a legislative update on new laws going into effect this weekend, along with other items that may benefit you.

As always, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

I hope you have a happy and safe Fourth of July!

A number of new laws, that my colleagues and I worked on during the 2023 legislative session to implement meaningful change in our state, will take effect in Connecticut on July 1.

After months of negotiations, the House of Representatives delivered a state budget that includes the largest income tax cut in the state’s history and significant increases in funding for local schools, also known as Education Cost Sharing (ECS) funds.

State Rep. Treneé McGee (D-West Haven) applauds the passage of the theater tax credit legislation included in the biennium budget for fiscal years 2024-2025. The legislation will provide a 30% tax credit to Broadway touring productions.

I love Spring and the warmer temperatures that come along with it. I hope you and your family are well and had a good holiday weekend.
