As we gear up for the 2025 legislative session set to begin on January 8, I want to wish everyone a great start to the new year.
It's a privilege to represent the 73rd District at the State Capitol, and I look forward to another productive session.
I'm looking forward to a great legislative session and a great year overall.
New Year Brings New Laws
Speaking of the new year, a number of new laws that we passed during the 2024 legislative session went into effect on January 1.
It will become easier than ever for companies to help employees pay off their student loan debt. Through one law, the tax credit for employers making payments for an employee will be expanded - helping Connecticut residents and businesses alike.
We are also protecting those affected by coerced debt, which is created as a result of a domestic violence victim being forced by an abuser into incurring credit card debt. Credit card companies must now review the details of cases to determine if the debt is coerced debt, and abusers will be held liable for the debt.
As always, your calls, emails, and testimony at our public hearings directly influenced these new laws. Please continue to share your views and have your voice heard at the Capitol!
Remembering President Carter
“Our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears & prejudices.” - Jimmy Carter
Rest in peace, President Carter. A life well-lived and dedicated to helping others.
