“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.”
On Friday I met with Pediatric Residents from the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. Wonderful to talk with them about the legislative process, advocacy, and how my being a fellow doctor guides me in what I do as a State Senator. I encouraged them to advocate for patient care and for those who provide the care. I have been doing this my whole career as a physician, getting involved many years ago as a medical student by serving on the American Medical Association’s Council on Legislation. During my years as a leader in the CT State Medical Society, including as President and Chairman of the Council on Policy, I focused on supporting patient care and those caring for people. It is work I continue as a doctor and as a State Senator. It is the right thing to do. Proud to do it!
