I strongly oppose Eversource’s proposal to increase electric bills for Connecticut residents by approximately $25 per month. At a time when working families, seniors, and small businesses are already being squeezed from every direction, asking them to pay even more for electricity is simply wrong.

Last week was long and productive. Early mornings at city hall and late nights under the dome of the state capital advocating for Norwalk, refining bill language, garnering support from colleagues, and working to address issues of importance.

The days (and nights) are long, but the session is short. We've begun a stretch of session days where we have taken up, and will take up, legislation, including gun violence reduction, no-excuse absentee ballots, homeschooling, vaccines, and medical credit cards, among other things. 

The Family & Children's agency in Norwalk is thanking its volunteers this month for all the work they do on behalf of children and families.

It is always a privilege to hold the gavel in the chamber, and I was honored to preside at the dais during Wednesday’s session as we advanced several important measures, including the confirmation of judicial appointments that are vital to maintaining the strength and integrity of our courts.

Another busy and productive week at the Capitol, which included my attendance at the Blue Collar Caucus press conference, where it outlined its priorities.

I stand with my colleagues in joining the School Meals for All Coalition and End Hunger CT at the Capitol for School Meal Advocacy Day.
