Kara Rochelle

The House has been abuzz with work as we are debating and voting on numerous bills. My colleagues and I have been working diligently to advocate for policies we support that will benefit residents across the state. As always, my focus is on the people of Ansonia and Derby first and foremost, as I help shape policy. If you have any questions during this time, please do not hesitate to reach out. In this week's newsletter, you will find information on some of the bills passed recently, resources for you and your family, and local updates.

Unfortunately, tonight's Coffee Hour at Copper City Bar & Grill is postponed. In the meantime, if you would still like to connect please just hit reply to this email, or email me any time at Kara.Rochelle@cga.ct.gov and I am happy to set up a time to talk!

I hope this message finds you and your family well! I am wishing you all a Happy Easter from my family to yours! I hope you all have a day filled with love, laughter, and great company!

I will hold my monthly in-person “Coffee with Kara” Events on Friday April 18th from 8 a.m. - 9 a.m. at Valley Diner, 636 New Haven Avenue, Derby and Monday April 21st from 6 p.m.-7 p.m. at Copper City, 82-84 Main St, Ansonia.

I hope this message finds you and your family well! It was a productive week at the Capitol, with the House back in session on Wednesday, where we voted on various executive and legislative nominations. My colleagues and I continue to debate and discuss which bills will move forward in the legislative process. The coming weeks will be crucial as we prioritize policies that will best serve our community.

I hope this message finds you and your family doing well and enjoying the first few days of spring! It's been a busy few weeks at the Capitol as committee meetings and public hearings are wrapping up. Many committees have voted to bills to continue moving through the legislative process so they may be passed later this session. Some committees, such as the Finance and Appropriations Committees, are still very busy in hearings about the budget. Other jobs, like that of Deputies like me, are ramping up as we read through every bill that has advanced out of individual committees.

I will hold my monthly in-person “Coffee with Kara” Events tomorrow, Friday March 21st from 8 a.m. - 9 a.m. at Valley Diner, 636 New Haven Avenue, Derby and Monday March 24th from 6 p.m.-7 p.m. at Copper City, 82-84 Main St, Ansonia.

I hope this email finds you and yours doing well as the days are getting warmer. It was another exciting week at the Capitol as committee meetings and public hearings are taking place. The House was back in Session on Wednesday, March 5th. It is always an honor to continue to serve our community and to engage in critical conversations with my colleagues about the issues that matter to you the most.
