We are in the final stretch of the legislative session here in Hartford. This week, the House is meeting four times.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! The celebration each year marks the anniversary of the 1862 victory by Mexican troops over invading French forces at the Battle of Puebla. I want to give my best wishes to all those celebrating this evening.

The weather outside is delightful, and just perfect for Earth Day! This Earth Day, we’re not just celebrating our planet—we’re taking action to protect it. From expanding clean energy to investing in climate resilience, Connecticut is committed to a sustainable future for all.

This weekend, I had the opportunity to join so many of you at the "Hands Off" rally in Niantic. It was inspiring to see people in our community taking a stand for what's right.

I will be joining State Senator Martha Marx for an East Lyme & Salem Community Forum tomorrow, April 3rd, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the East Lyme Senior Center, 37 Society Road in Niantic.

I will be joining State Senator Martha Marx for two Mid-Session Community Forums in-district this week. I hope you can attend.

The Montville & Bozrah Community Forum is tomorrow, April 1,at the Montville Police Department's Public Safety Room from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

I've been hard at work in Hartford fighting for bills that will benefit our communities. Everyone deserves reliable access to an education, healthcare, and energy. My colleagues and I are continuing to fight to pass policies supporting that belief this session. That work includes guaranteeing teachers' job security, lowering energy costs, and supporting bills that could combat the looming threat of federal Medicaid cuts.

I hope you can join me for a Community Coffee Hour on Sunday, March 23rd, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at T&B Provisions in Niantic.
