IT’S OFFICIAL! Last Saturday, I attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Southington Public Library.

This week, I had the privilege of attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Hartford HealthCare's expanded cancer care at the Bradley Memorial Campus of The Hospital of Central Connecticut.

Thanksgiving is Thursday, and I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for our community, the joy of shared moments and the support that surrounds us.

Last weekend, I attended the 40th Anniversary celebration of Southington’s Gishrei Shalom Jewish Congregation. While I was privileged to present an official citation on behalf of Southington’s legislative delegation honoring their many accomplishments, their true legacy lies within the kind and generous spirit that the Congregation’s members have exhibited during the past four decades.

This week I attended a press conference hosted jointly by the American School for the Deaf (ASD) and Hartford HealthCare (HHC) to announce their new partnership to provide American Sign Language interpreting services for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing patients across HHC's health care system. 

I want to say how honored and thankful I am to be re-elected as your State Representative. I am buoyed by your confidence in me and appreciative of the opportunity to continue representing our community at the Capitol.

This week I attended Comptroller Sean Scanlon’s ArrayRx information session at the Calendar House. ArrayRx, the state’s prescription drug discount program, is a user-friendly way for seniors and families to save money and tackle the high cost of health care.

This week, I had the privilege to attend the 2024 Southington High School Wall of Honor ceremony and pay tribute to the new class of inductees and their families. The ceremony was beautiful, and I am in awe of the service and accomplishments of this year’s class, which included Valerie DePaolo, Kenneth DiMauro (posthumously inducted), Mark Palmieri, TFC Aaron Pelletier (posthumously inducted) and Norman VanCor.
