Southington Community Cultural Arts has been awarded a $10,000 state grant to purchase a new kiln for its ceramics studio.

I have heard your concerns about Southington’s increasing car tax. I want to be transparent about how this happened, what changes were made at both the state and local level, and how I personally voted on this particular issue. 

I had the great honor of awarding a citation to Anthony Longo, a World War II Navy Veteran, who celebrated his 103rd birthday on May 15. Mr. Longo’s life has been a testament to resilience, wisdom, and grace.

Happy 4th of July! I would like to take a moment to wish you and your family a wonderful and safe Independence Day.

With the 2025 legislative session behind us, I set out this week visiting neighborhoods across the 81st District and reconnecting directly with residents. For me, there’s no better way to stay in touch than meeting you where you are—at your doors, on our sidewalks, and inside the small businesses that keep Southington thriving.

This week, I had the honor of touring C.V. Industries, a family-owned manufacturer right here in Southington with a long history of excellence in Connecticut’s aerospace and defense sectors.

Last night, I had the honor of attending Southington High School’s graduation ceremony — and it couldn’t have been a more perfect evening. The weather was beautiful, the crowd was proud, and the event ran flawlessly.

With the legislative session wrapping up on Wednesday, I want to highlight several important bills that passed both the House and Senate and are expected to be signed into law by Governor Ned Lamont.
