I always appreciate town halls because they give people the chance to ask tough questions and hear honest answers, and tonight was no different. We covered a wide range of issues, from public education and rising utility bills to healthcare, animal welfare, and immigration, where I shared my own family’s story to speak to the lack of humanity we’re seeing in this moment. It was real, thoughtful, and necessary dialogue.
At the end of the night, a longtime Danbury resident asked if I could drive her home. As we made our way slowly through the snow flurries, she shared stories of the Danbury she fought so hard for when her children were in school, and her hope that our city remains a place where everyone, EVERYONE, is treated with dignity and respect.
When we reached her door, she looked at me and said, “Please tell me you’ll keep fighting.”
Yes. I will. Always for Danbury! |

| Standing with Our Carpenters |
|

I am proud to stand with our Carpenters and to commend Miguel Fuentes, president of Carpenters Local 326, and the entire union for their hard work and for calling out bad actors who cheat workers, undercut honest businesses and commit fraud.
As a graduate of Abbott Tech’s Carpentry program and someone who worked in the field, I know firsthand how demanding this work is. Through cold winters and hot summers, carpenters are out there building our communities every single day, and we should always have their backs.
This session, I look forward to being even more involved with the Labor Committee, and even more next session so I can fight alongside labor leaders like state Sen. Julie Kushner, even harder for stronger enforcement, real accountability, and real protections for Connecticut workers. |

Earlier this week we had an early morning meeting with Chancellor Maduko, President Bernal, and their team discussing the exciting future of Western Connecticut State University. Enrollment continues to climb, surpassing previous benchmarks, and the momentum on campus is real.
WCSU is a vital part of Danbury and our region both for students and our economy, and I’m proud to have the downtown campus in the 109th. |

This week I loaded up on some delicious Portuguese pastries (and more!) for us and the in-laws at one of Danbury’s best, Deolinda's Artisan Bakery.
If you haven’t been, you’re missing out! 5 Padanaram Road. Open early and late every day. |

| Danbury built the legacy. We honored and wore it with pride. We celebrated our hat-making roots this National Hat Day and every day. Danbury Crowns Them All! |

As always, if you have any comments, questions or concerns, please reach out to my office.
Sincerely,
Farley Santos |
