School is back in session. Best of luck to all of the students, teachers, and staff members - hope you all have an excellent year! 

Where did the summer go? The start of a new school year is right around the corner. If you want to do some last minute back to school shopping, I'd encourage to take advantage of the last day of the sales tax free week. The final day is tomorrow, August 22. Click here to learn more. 

Truer words have never been spoken: the community is stronger when we come together. 

I am proud to share that for the 2026 legislative session, I received a 100% voting score from the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters in its 2026 Environmental Scorecard.

It was truly an honor to be part of the recent ribbon-cutting ceremony and to speak in recognition of my dear friend, Ernie Dumas, at the new South Norwalk Community Recreation Center.

I am proud that I received a 95% score from the Connecticut Education Association for my legislative record this past session.

July is Disability Pride Month. Creating a more inclusive world benefits everyone, and equity is worth fighting for every day. I will continue to advocate for these rights as we celebrate the visibility and diversity of the Disability community.

As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and vision that built our nation. Here in Connecticut, where the ideals of liberty and self-government took root, we are reminded that our history is not just something we inherit, it's something we continue to shape together.
