🚜 Farmers Deserve a Fair Deal!
I’m hosting a public forum with Connecticut farmers and my Republican colleagues to discuss the steep farmland property tax hikes and what we can do to fix them.
📅 When: Tuesday, January 20
🕚 Time: 11:00 a.m.
📍 Where: Room 1E, Legislative Office Building, Hartford, CT
I continue to fight for affordability, common sense, and what’s right. The PA-490 land value assessments have unfairly spiked taxes on farmland. I’m working with my colleagues to fix this mess. We submitted legislation with meaningful solutions:
✅ An immediate moratorium on these skyrocketing assessments
✅ Creating a permanent working group of farmers to advise state agencies
✅ Capping future assessment increases
✅ Requiring legislative approval for any changes
Farmers need a real seat at the table when decisions that affect their livelihoods are made, and I’m committed to making that happen.

I had the opportunity to visit Woodstock Elementary School for Bring Your Legislator to School Day! 🚌📓
I enjoyed speaking with students about my work as both a physician and a state senator, and I appreciated the time to meet with teachers and attend classes.
I also took the opportunity to meet with Woodstock Superintendent Christopher Roche.
Thank you to Woodstock Elementary for the warm welcome, and to the dedicated teachers and staff who make our public schools such wonderful places to learn.
