Today, we honor the memory of those we lost on 9/11 and salute the courage of the heroes who risked everything. May we always remember their sacrifice and stand united in resilience and hope.

I was proud to join House Majority Leader Jason Rojas, Department of Housing Commissioner Seila Mosquera-Bruno, Connecticut Veterans Affairs Commissioner Ron Welch, and Deputy Commissioner Joseph Danao at a press conference earlier this week to talk about some first-of-its-kind housing at the VA Campus in Rocky Hill! It is exciting to see this project come to fruition.

Please join me and State Comptroller Sean Scanlon for a special presentation on the no-cost ArrayRX Prescription Drug Discount Card at the Executive Square House, 100 Executive Square in Wethersfield, on Thursday at 2 p.m.

I wanted to make you aware of a couple of events that may be of interest to you.

Last week, the legislature was called into Special Session. What does that mean? It means that the Governor along with House and Senate leaders made a special call to the legislature to bring us in for business that needed statutory changes. Here's what we addressed:

The Connecticut Student Loan Repayment Program incentivizes eligible health care providers to practice full-time in underserved Connecticut communities for at least two years by offering up to $50,000 in student loan repayments. Part-time options are also available for $12,500 per year over two years, totaling $25,000.

Here is a friendly reminder to join me and fellow legislators Amy Morrin Bello and John Fonfara for a legislative Coffee Hour at Heirloom Market in Wethersfield tomorrow.

We took the ferry to Glastonbury. The season is underway! Please see below for more details as well as information on upcoming events I hope you can attend.
