I'm happy to return to the Capitol with my colleagues to continue our work for the start of the 2024 legislative session. I was proud to wear a pink tie in solidarity with our female legislators, whose remarkable efforts deserve recognition!
We have plenty of work to do to support the people of Connecticut, and I'm looking forward to accomplishing our goals for this session. Please read below to see our list of priorities and to take a look at a quick tutorial on how a bill becomes a law.
| I would also like to thank everyone who attended the West Hartford delegation's community conversation. I'm excited to bring your priorities to the State Capitol. Keep scrolling to see pictures from last week's legislative town hall.

I am excited and optimistic for the new legislative session. House Speaker Matt Ritter gave a rousing speech about unity and reminded us of the bipartisan work we have recently accomplished to improve the state of Connecticut.
Some of that groundbreaking legislation includes support for women. Dozens of female legislators wore pink on opening day to show solidarity. It's great to see this group of leaders coming together to reach new heights in 2024.
We are all currently working on drafting a number of bills on a wide range of issues including affordable housing. The other priorities are listed below.
