This month, starting today through October 15, we are celebrating Hispanic Heritage, a recognition of the rich culture and contributions of our Latino community across our nation. To read the White House proclamation please go here: A Proclamation on National Hispanic Heritage Month, 2023.

During the next few weeks, I am looking forward to sharing with you some of our unique stories and accomplishments!

And Did you know? The Hispanic population in Connecticut is 551,916. In 2020, Hispanics made up more than 18% of the state's population, according to the most recent data by the U.S. Census Bureau. Between 2010 and 2020, there was a 30% increase in the Hispanic population across the state.
