🏠It was great to join members of CT Realtors today at the historic Warner Theatre in Torrington for their 2026 “Fired Up and Focused event.
Realtors help families find more than a house. They help people find a community, put down roots and build a future. They also see firsthand the challenges buyers, sellers and renters are facing as housing and everyday costs continue to rise.
I appreciated the opportunity to connect with real estate professionals from across Connecticut, hear their perspectives and thank them for the important role they play in our communities.
📢Calling all local farmers and agricultural producers: Applications are now open for Connecticut’s Farm Recovery and Support Block Grant Program.
The program is intended to provide assistance to farms that suffered losses due to weather events in 2023 and 2024.
The program is administered by the Connecticut Department of Agriculture and funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
If you or someone you know in our agricultural community may be eligible, I encourage you to review the program information and application details below.
Connecticut’s farmers work incredibly hard to keep our communities fed and our agricultural industry strong. I encourage those who experienced losses to take a look at this program and see what assistance may be available.

This morning, I joined neighbors, first responders and local leaders at the September 11 Memorial on Patriots Way in New Milford to reflect on the 25th anniversary of the September 11th tragedy that forever changed our nation.
We gathered to remember the innocent lives taken too soon, honor the heroes who answered the call and stand with the families who continue to carry this profound loss.
Thank you to the New Milford September 11th 2001 Memorial Maintenance Committee and everyone who helps preserve this sacred place for future generations.
Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their lives, courage and sacrifice. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
