Manufacturing is 11% of CT’s GDP Our goal is to get to 20% by 2030 Great to be with the Eastern Advanced Manufacturing Alliance to talk about how business and government can work together to hit that goal, create more good jobs with good benefits and grow the economy in our

Did you know Connecticut manufacturers exported more than $16 billion worth of products last year? That’s 5% of our state’s GDP. And it’s not just submarines and helicopters—they’re specialized machinery and parts that go on to build spaceships, microchips, and more. Read more

Paraeducators make a huge difference for our kids, and I’m proud to run a program that helps our cities and towns lower the cost of their health care so they can stay in the classroom and do what they do best without having to work additional jobs just to afford their premiums

In three years @MyCTSavings has helped 35,000 employees at 7,700 companies save $52 million for retirement I’m really proud of that And our new partnership with RI will lower costs for our members while helping more people in both states save for the secure retirement they

Respiratory illnesses like flu and RSV can make you really sick, and now is the time to get the seasonal vaccines that help protect against them.

This case makes me so angry, and no one involved in it should ever see the outside of a jail cell. But the only thing worse than what they did to her is that no one knew about it. And that’s a failure of both DCF and our lax homeschooling rules. Both must be reformed so this

When people lose their health insurance coverage— or choose to be uninsured due to the soaring costs— it results in higher costs for all of us. And if Congress and the President don’t act soon, 138,000 people in our state will be forced to pay far more for coverage or go

You‘ve probably heard about the “no tax on tips” federal law that was signed this year. But you may not have seen the new IRS & Treasury proposal on what professions fall under this federal income tax exemption, jobs like hairdressers, casino dealers, waitstaff, and plumbers.

Cancer touches nearly all of us, but so does hope. 💗 Thank you to @CTComptroller and members of the Fairfield community for raising awareness about the importance of screening and early detection. We’re proud to offer world-class care close to home. https://t.co/6qRYvCDs2u

CT has a long and proud history when it comes to manufacturing. But it’s not just history. It’s now. And it’s our future.

This is a crisis, and the lives of the public and our fire fighters are at risk because of it. We have to fix this.

Stopped by the Redding Senior Center for a great discussion about the state budget, the economy and how federal policy changes will impact Connecticut before visiting some great small businesses in Georgetown to talk about @MyCTSavings!

Joined patients, doctors and colleagues at @HartfordHealthC Fairfield Cancer Center to recognize breast cancer awareness month. Our message? Get screened (seriously, get screened!) and know that we are lucky to have some of the world’s best cancer care right here in Connecticut.

These indicators are putting a big squeeze on people across the nation, as wages aren't keeping up with soaring costs. So while Connecticut, as a state, remains in good fiscal health, it is critical that we craft and enact policies that address affordability issues across the

Speaking of the national economy, tariffs have taken effect more slowly than previously anticipated, and anecdotal data reveals that businesses are trying to hold out on raising prices. However, inflation has remained just under 3%, one whole point above the target for a healthy

And our Rainy Day Fund is at its statutory cap of $4.3 bil. This puts Connecticut in a good place against any national economic fallouts from things like federal cuts, tariffs, the slowing labor market, and more.

We closed out FY 25 with an operating surplus of $410 mil, more than $100 mil over what was originally budgeted. This is the seventh consecutive year we ended the fiscal year with the surplus. A portion of this will go towards funding universal pre-k in Connecticut, and another

As Connecticut's fiscal watchdog, I try to break down news about our budget and economy so it's accessible to people. You probably don't have the time to read long, wonky reports so this is us doing it for you! One way we do that is our annual "fiscal year in review," where we
