I want to take a moment to update you on the recent developments that took place during our Special Session on Tuesday. 

I'm pleased to share with you that we voted to approve the nomination of Nora Dannehy to fill a vacancy on the Connecticut Supreme Court. This decision will ensure the continued integrity and fairness of our judicial system, allowing us to uphold the principles of justice and equality that are so important to our state.

Additionally, we voted to change the Connecticut presidential primary date by moving it up by four weeks. This means the presidential primary will occur on the first Tuesday in April. This received bipartisan support with the hope that it will increase our influence in the national political landscape and encourage more candidates to visit us during the 2024 campaign season. 

Furthermore, we have taken steps to strengthen our election monitoring and recount procedures. By taking these measures, we are ensuring transparency and accountability in our electoral system. It is crucial that we maintain the highest standards of fairness and accuracy in all our elections, and these enhancements will help us achieve that goal.
