The Black and Puerto Rican Caucus recently unveiled six legislative pillars that will shape our advocacy this session involving education, career advancement, justice, housing, health and human services, as well as economic empowerment and stability.

I asked Garrett Eucalitto, Commissioner of the CT Dept. of Transportation, pressing transportation questions that affect those who live in Waterbury.

I stand in strong support of Connecticut’s Trust Act, a law that reflects the core values of dignity, fairness, and community safety, especially for our immigrant community.

I am proud to champion two bills honoring Connecticut’s deep ties to Puerto Rico. One proposal would establish a new trade commission between both locations and another would honor the Borinqueneers with a special motor vehicle license plate.

Investing in the expansion of public transportation is essential for economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability in Waterbury and all of Connecticut.

Operation Fuel is taking applications for emergency energy and utility assistance to those in need. Congratulations to Waterbury’s own Cicero Booker, Jr. for his induction into Connecticut’s Veterans Hall of Fame.

I had the honor of attending two events in the community to commemorate Dr. King’s life with the community. We reflected on his legacy of justice, equality, and nonviolent resistance.

Organizers recognized 30 of the most talented Afro-Latinos in Connecticut who are 30 years old or younger! Three young women from Waterbury made the list!
