'Citizens or Subjects? This Is What One-Party Rule Looks Like' (June 2026)
Connecticut’s 2026 legislative session was a “short session,” beginning in January and ending in early May. But there was nothing small about what happened.
On Thursday I was honored to join veterans, families, and community members at Cheshire Town Hall to recognize those who served during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
One of the most meaningful parts of the event was hearing directly from veterans about their experiences and sacrifices. Their stories are a powerful reminder of the courage and dedication that helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy today.
We owe these men and women an incredible debt of gratitude. Their service to our nation deserves not only our thanks, but our continued respect and remembrance.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible, and most importantly, thank you to our veterans. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Some people look at legislative debate and see delay.
I see representation.
When legislation affects your freedoms, your taxes, your family, your business, or your constitutional rights, it deserves more than a quick vote and a rubber stamp.
My job is to read the bills, ask the questions, challenge bad policy, and make sure the people I represent have a voice in Hartford.
Debate is not obstruction.
It is how representative government is supposed to work.
Watch below as I set the record straight.

I'm pleased to see $200,000 in state funding approved for the Coachlight Circle water main project in Prospect!
Reliable infrastructure is one of government's most basic responsibilities, and this investment will help improve water service and strengthen
local infrastructure for residents.
Thank you to everyone involved in this practical project that delivers real results for our community.
