With the anticipation of inclement weather this weekend please make sure you are taking proper precautions and are stocked up on necessary supplies in case we get snowed in.

Over the last two weeks, towns and cities throughout our state have handed out free At-Home COVID-19 test kits, and now I am happy to share that every home in the U.S. is eligible to order 4 free at-⁠home COVID-⁠19 tests completely FREE.

Phase 2 of COVID Self-Test kit distribution for K-12 Schools and Early Childcare Providers is TOMORROW, January 14.

Due to inclement weather, the distribution was postponed and will now take place Wednesday, January 12 at 6PM at Derby High School.

The City of Derby just announced they have a limited supply of kits and masks they will distribute Sunday, January 9.

Governor Lamont announced that three million self-tests and six million N-95 masks will be distributed to municipalities as well as K-12 schools.

I want to wish everyone a very happy holiday! I hope all of you get the opportunity to relax and enjoy your favorite holiday traditions and festivities.

On top of securing my funding request for Orange on the Bond Commission's, my colleagues and I in Derby, also secured an additional $200,000 on the Commission's agenda to replace an elevator and windows at Century Center,TEAM, Inc.'s headquarters.
