I'm pleased to share that Danbury Public Schools has been awarded a grant of $135,000 to support the delivery of mental health services for our students during the summer months.

I wanted to share with you that the Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS) will deliver a one-time, back-to-school cash benefit to 7,500 children across the state using federal Pandemic Emergency Assistance Funds (PEAF).

Since the legislature passed and Governor Lamont signed CT Paid Leave into law, the program has had a positive impact on countless families across our state.

For this month's 109th Spotlight, I’m happy to share with you that on July 13th, Kelly & Jason LaReau along with Benny Vrenezi opened their new restaurant, J. Law Kitchen & Craft Bar, right here in our district! 

We are standing up for consumers by freezing the scheduled increase on the diesel tax, which will help lower the price of groceries and other commodities while reducing the cost of doing business in CT.

Governor Lamont held a ceremonial swearing-in for new judges and magistrates yesterday in which, Danbury native Thomas J. Saadi, was sworn in as a Superior Court Judge.

For this month's 109th Spotlight, I want to recognize Frankie DeMunda, a devoted woodworker who uses his craft to give back to the community.

Senator Kushner, Representative Allie-Brennan, Representative Godfrey, and I have been working hard on behalf of Danbury to ensure that our state budget will be used effectively and efficiently.
