“The people of Connecticut want common sense, a fair deal, and their state government to work for them. They know what is best for their families and them. My goal is to take this message to the Capitol for you, working to deliver solutions that make your lives better.”
As the Ranking Senator on the Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, I want to wish everyone serving in the Armed Forces and the Connecticut National Guard a wonderful holiday season. We are thinking of you—especially those who are away from their families during the holidays. Thank you for your service, and please know how grateful we are. Stay safe overseas.
Connecticut officially joining the Nurse Licensure Compact is an important step forward for healthcare. This change increases career mobility for nurses and helps our state better respond to nursing shortages. As a practicing doctor and member of the Public Health Committee, I know how vital nurses are to patient care and public health. This compact supports nurses while also expanding access to care for communities across Connecticut. I’m grateful for the dedication of our nursing workforce. This is progress worth celebrating.
