🚨Connecticut taxpayers are paying $442,000 for a no-show job!
Yesterday, CT Senate Republicans called out the sham “Strategic Advisor” role created for former CSCU Chancellor Terrence Cheng, a no-show job paid for by YOU.

❌ Works remotely from his New York home ❌ Supervises no one ❌ Isn’t required to attend meetings ❌ Used a state credit card for $60 steaks and chauffeured rides

Honored to stand alongside so many incredible women today for Women-Owned Business Day. 💼✨
From building my own business in a male-dominated field to serving in the legislature, I’ve learned what it means to push forward—even when the room wasn’t designed for you.
Today, I’m proud to help lead in the spaces where critical decisions are made—and to keep fighting for policies that expand opportunity, strengthen access to healthcare, and support women at every stage of their journey.

Let’s keep breaking barriers, opening doors, and building a future where every woman has the opportunity to succeed.
Women entrepreneurs deserve a seat at the table and advocates in the State Senate. CT Senate Republicans will continue to champion policies that support women-owned businesses! ... See MoreSee Less
