I welcome and am very pleased by my appointments and the House leadership gains by Bridgeport's legislative delegation announced by Speaker Aresimowicz.

I am pleased the State Bond Commission has approved $2,650,000 to Bridgeport's Klein Memorial Auditorium for the installation of an elevator, technology improvements and code required improvements. 

After visiting the new Geraldine Claytor Magnet Academy there is no question that the school is going to make a positive difference for the neighborhood and more importantly in the lives of the students.

Approval of an agreement keeping Sikosky Aircraft in Stratford is one of the most important votes we have taken in the General Assembly this year and I am pleased to have voted in support of that agreement because it is so vital to the economic future of not only Connecticut, but for so many Bridgeport workers.

I want to share with you an opinion piece that I wrote and was published in the Connecticut Post.

I am pleased to have participated in a ceremonial bill signing that focused on a bill I introduced that will help and protect our small businesses.

“I want to thank the Bridgeport Regional Business Council for naming me their 'Legislator Of The Year' and for their efforts in working with our regional legislative delegation to help local business grow and create jobs.”

I am pleased that legislation I introduced overhauling the office of claims commissioner has gained final approval and goes next to the Governor for his signature.
