I'm promoting a new initiative to spread awareness around men’s health and specifically prostate cancer. Rep. Dave Yaccarino, former Rep. Chris Ziogas, and I have all served in the Connecticut House of Representatives while dealing with prostate cancer.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will close exit 31 on Route 8 northbound to I-84 eastbound for approximately six weeks starting tonight at 10 p.m. The construction work is tied to the Route 8/I-84 Mixmaster rehabilitation project in Waterbury.

Local farmers' markets are one of the best ways to eat Connecticut grown food in your home. We have so much local fruit, vegetables, dairy, meat and much more available in our great state. Many farmers' markets, including Brass City Harvest in Waterbury, now accept the EBT card or SNAP benefits.

I support my colleague State Rep. Maryam Khan as she heroically and harrowingly recounted the recent assault against her as she attended Eid services in Hartford with her family and children.

Waterbury will receive $303,000 in state funds to cleanup and revitalize two separate projects containing blighted properties with the hope of bringing economic development and job growth to our community.

A number of new laws, which will implement meaningful change in our state, have taken effect in Connecticut as of July 1.

No matter how you are celebrating the Fourth of July, please make sure to take precautions for you and your entire family.

The city of Waterbury is celebrating the opening of its newest greenway and park, which is along the beautiful Naugatuck River.
