'As America Turns 250, Connecticut Families Are Being Left Behind' (May 2026)
As we approach the 250th anniversary as a nation, it should be a time to reflect on what has made America the greatest country in the world.
Earlier this week I was honored to unanimously receive the Republican nomination for re-election to the Connecticut State Senate in the 16th District.
To the people of Wolcott, Southington, Prospect, Cheshire, and Waterbury: thank you for your trust, your support, and your friendship over the years.
Serving my friends, neighbors, and communities has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. I remain committed to fighting for a more affordable, prosperous, and free Connecticut while defending our Constitution, protecting individual liberty, and standing up for the people too often ignored by one-party rule in Hartford.
Thank you to everyone who has stood with me throughout this journey. We have more work to do, and I am ready for the fight ahead.
Watch this short video from the convention and decide for yourself what kind of future Connecticut can have if we choose courage, freedom, and common sense 🇺🇸
Great morning with the Southington Chamber of Commerce and Chamber Networking Pros.
Thank you to the Chamber, local business owners, and community leaders who came out for a serious discussion about Connecticut’s labor laws, new legislation, compliance challenges, and the real-world impact state policy has on employers.
State Representative Gale Mastrofrancesco and I both serve on the Labor Committee, and we know how important it is that business owners understand what is happening in Hartford before it affects their bottom line.
Connecticut can and should be a place where businesses grow, jobs are created, and communities thrive. That starts with listening to the people who actually run businesses, create opportunity, and keep our local economy moving.
Thanks again to everyone who attended. Great turnout and great conversation.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
Earlier this week, I had a great time at the Boys & Girls Club Of Greater Waterbury making English muffin pizzas with the kids.
It was wonderful spending time with everyone, sharing some laughs, and seeing how excited the kids were throughout the program.
Thank you to everyone at the Boys & Girls Club who helped organize the event and for the warm welcome. I truly enjoyed the experience!
