Thanks to our strong, fiscally responsible policies at the state level:
Our bond ratings are stellar.
Job growth numbers keep improving.

Each year the Connecticut Education Association (CEA) rates legislators based on their actions during the legislative session regarding education. I stand with our educators working to provide safe learning environments for all learners and am proud to have received an A from them this session.  To see my results, please visit https://cea.org/voting-record/?bio_id=28
