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.

I hope this message finds you and yours doing well! I wanted to bring to your attention HB 7208, An act Concerning Referenda on the Sale of Municipal Authorities or Other Assets or the Privatization of Municipal Department Services or Functions.

I hope this email finds you and yours doing well as the days are getting warmer. It has been a busy week at the capitol where committee meetings and public hearings are in full swing. The House was in session on Monday night where we voted on crucial bills including an extra infusion of funding for special education and tax exemptions for disabled veterans.

I'm also thrilled to share that the CT Department of Transportation has awarded $3.84 million in funding for the Naugatuck River Greenway in Ansonia between Pershing Drive to Wakelee Avenue/Nolan Field.

Happy Valentine's Day to you and your family! I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with kindness, love, and happiness.

It is a busy time at the Capitol where committee meetings and public hearings are underway daily. Governor Lamont presented his budget proposal which the legislature will be carefully scrutinizing as the House and Senate craft their budget over the next few months.

I hope this message finds you and yours well!
I am humbled, proud, and excited to share that I have been selected to serve as a Deputy Majority Leader and reappointed as Vice Chair of the Higher Education and Employment Advancement Committee for the 2025/2026 term!
