Dear Neighbor,
The House of Representatives is ramping up our activities this week.
On Monday, we passed a bill to protect Maternal and Infant Health to have our Office of Health Strategy plan for more birth centers, and expand the fatherhood initiative. There was no session on Tuesday, but it was a busy day nonetheless - I attended the intern recognition event, answered your emails, and stood with the governor and Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves for a press conference on the first 100 days of chaos in Washington. We discussed many of the lowlights, including attacks on:
- Public education funding
- Those of you who need health care,
- Vaccines to prevent diseases like measles which can an have killed children,
- Defunding of cancer research
- Anti-suicide programs
- Social security
- Veterans
- Non-profits and state and local agencies that provide critical services,
- International trade by the imposition of extreme sales taxes (tariffs),
- Citizens who express themselves getting sent to foreign concentration camps
