As Connecticut focuses on containing the coronavirus, the Office of the Attorney General has received multiple complaints regarding large price hikes in basic supplies like hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes.

Mientras Connecticut y nuestro país trabajan para contener el coronavirus, la Oficina del Procurador General ha recibido múltiples quejas con respecto a grandes aumentos abusivos de precio en suministros básicos como desinfectantes para manos y toallas desinfectantes.

I joined with my Bridgeport colleague State Representative Antonio Felipe in testifying in favor of the legalization of cannabis in front of the recent Judiciary Committee public hearing. 

I recently got together with administrators of the Bridgeport Caribe Youth Leaders (BCYL) to talk about the positive outcome of state funding we were able to get in 2018 for families displaced by Hurricane Maria. In this series of videos, we highlight the indispensable work that BCYL is doing to help the families transitioning in Bridgeport. We also interviewed families that recently came here as a result of the recent earthquakes that have damaged homes and upturned lives. I want to also thank the late Representative Ezequiel Santiago who helped fight for the funding that even today is still making a difference.

Although the coronavirus impact on Connecticut has been minimal to date, Governor Lamont and the state are actively working on our preparedness for any eventuality.

The chaotic state of affairs in Washington D.C. can often feel distant from the day-to-day issues that come up in our lives. However, it's important to stay up to date at the federal level because decisions made there can have a direct impact on vital services and programs for residents across our state. Perhaps no better example of this dynamic exists than in proposals concerning the federal budget.

Funding was approved to help those arriving from Puerto Rico due to the ongoing earthquake damage.

If you're struggling to keep your home warm this winter – you can find help through your utility.

The 2020 legislation session will get underway on Wednesday, February 5^th and we will be working on many issues that affect Bridgeport and the state.
