Honored to serve those who served at North Branford’s annual Veterans Day luncheon 🇺🇸

Good news.

It’s hard to accept that we’ve reached the point where it’s easier to allow 360,000 of our neighbors (including children) to lose their food assistance in two days than it is to compromise and end a government shutdown that didn’t need to happen in the first place. Politicians

Trooper Irving Nelson lost his life pursuing two armed robbers in 1928, and yesterday I was honored to join @CT_STATE_POLICE and his family to announce that the section of Rt. 97 in Pomfret where he was killed will be named after him. This long overdue recognition will serve as

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

Today is Purple Thursday, a day where we raise awareness about domestic violence and stand with survivors of it. If you or someone you know needs help, help is always available 24/7 in Connecticut by calling/texting 888-774-2900 or by visiting https://t.co/uv4ErW1rkI.

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
