As a result of fiscal responsibility and bipartisanship in 2023, I am pleased to announce that significant relief is on the way for many Connecticut taxpayers in 2024!

Wishing you and your loved ones a New Year filled with joy, health and happiness. May 2024 be a canvas of beautiful moments, fulfilling endeavors, and endless possibilities!

Connecticut is offering a wonderful new program that will make applying for higher education much easier - and less expensive - for graduating high school students.

As we ring in the new year, there are some laws that become effective on January 1 that were passed during the 2023 legislative session addressing key issue areas including early voting, health and mental health, and online privacy and data protection.

From my family to yours, I want to take a moment to send my best wishes for the holiday season, and express that it is my sincere honor to represent you and work on issues that matter to our community and Connecticut.

Small Business Saturday is coming up on November 25th. This is a great chance for us to support our local entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses that make our community unique and vibrant.

Our community is strong thanks to our residents, volunteers, EMT's, police and firefighters, clergy, teachers, caregivers, healthcare providers, municipal workers and everyone working together to make our state a great place to live.

Thanks to our strong, fiscally responsible policies at the state level:
Our bond ratings are stellar.
Job growth numbers keep improving.
We have cut billions in unfunded pension debts from our balance sheets.
We paid back the pandemic-era Unemployment Trust Fund loan, which is great news for local businesses.
