I’m grateful for the support of my colleagues, @ChrisMurphyCT & @DickBlumenthal. Their partnership means everything as we keep delivering for CT families. Proud to stand with them as a force for our state. We’ll keep taking the fight directly to Trump and his dangerous agenda.

As a product of public housing, public schools, and public service, I know exactly what families are facing. I’m proud to have Majority Leader Jason Rojas and Senator MD Rahman by my side — leaders at the State Capitol who know what it takes to deliver for the people we serve.

I’m calling for Pete Hegseth to resign immediately. He has jeopardized our troops by leaking sensitive military information and directed unlawful strikes that threaten our national security. He cannot be trusted with our nation’s defense. Enough is enough. Send him back to FOX.

While I’m taking on Donald Trump and his authoritarian regime, I’m proud to have local leaders here at home who have my back — like DTC Chairs Mike Pohl & Mike Fallon — and I look forward to continuing our work together.

From East Hartford to Middletown, leaders across our district are standing with our campaign — because we’re fighting for working families every single day. I’m grateful to have the support of Mayors Connor Martin & Jay Moran, and First Selectman Jason Bowsza.

It’s true! I didn’t know bubble tea until recently. I do know Connecticut has dozens of businesses making it - I won’t stop fighting for them. I’m standing up to Trump and leading on a progressive agenda to make life more affordable and bring jobs to the district.

I’m a project kid who never imagined I’d serve in Congress. Every day, I fight for people who deserve a fair shot. Giving up isn’t an option. Not when health care, democracy, and opportunity are all on the line. We need leaders who stand up and deliver. And I’m not done yet.

It’s official: I’m running for re-election. Trump’s terrorizing us at home and in D.C. Two fronts. Two fights. When Democrats retake the House? Social Security expanded. Assault weapons banned. Affordable housing. Manufacturing jobs. Let’s win! Join us: https://t.co/wJ1GvupOM2

Great to celebrate @CtLatinas in Manchester and the work they’re doing to elect Democratic Latina women up and down the ballot. As the Trump Administration continues to target our schools and communities, our local officials are on the front line. We are in this fight together!

The Republican Budget just took away health care for 15 million Americans to give billionaires a giant tax cut. Trump’s Treasury Secretary says privatizing Social Social Security is next. Not on my watch!

🚨NEW SURVEY🚨More than 700,000 Connecticut residents rely on Social Security to make ends meet. The Trump Administration is dismantling Social Security from within. I’m fighting to stop them. Democrats will protect and expand your hard-earned benefits! https://t.co/M2M9A13oKm

Younger adults are generally less confident: just 25% of people ages 18-49 are confident in the program’s future, compared to 48% of those 50 and older.

Donald Trump called Social Security a ‘scam,’ and now he and Elon Musk are spreading lies so they can cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Some of us may have been born at night, but not last night. The American people won’t stand for cuts to their hard-earned benefits!
Commerce Secretary Lutnick says Trump will take $1 trillion out of "entitlements" like Social Security and Medicare

The class @KamalaHarris displayed yesterday reminded us why we supported her and that our values as a nation are greater than any one election. My full statement on the 2024 Presidential Election:

I was proud to cast my vote for @KamalaHarris, @ChrisMurphyCT and the entire Democratic ticket this morning. Together, we’ll win the White House, take back Congress, and keep Connecticut blue! If you haven’t voted yet, polls are open until 8 PM across the state. #ElectionDay

It is an honor and privilege to represent 50,000+ Puerto Ricans in my district. The racist rhetoric we saw last night about our fellow Americans was disgraceful. The hate they conveyed about Puerto Rico has no place in this country or any country. https://t.co/qzyCh6sJJ0
