FEATURED STORY
Senator Jeff Gordon and Senator Heather Somers Welcome Federal Funding to Enhance Rural Health Care in Connecticut
Senator Doctor Jeff Gordon and Senator Heather Somers, member and Ranking member of the Public Health Committee, respectively, welcomed the good news that Connecticut has been awarded $154 million in significant federal funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of the Rural Health Transformation Program, aimed at improving healthcare access and delivery in rural and underserved communities.

Today, January 9, marks National Law Enforcement Appreciation day, a time to recognize and thank the dedicated men and women who serve and protect our community every day.
Our local law enforcement officers work tirelessly to keep our neighborhoods safe, respond to emergencies, and be a steady presence in our towns. Their commitment and sacrifice never go unnoticed and are deeply appreciated.
This past Christmas and Christmas Eve, I had the privilege of delivering dinner to officers who were on duty during the holiday. It was a small way to say thank you to those who put service above celebration so the rest of us could spend time with our families.
I remain committed to supporting our law enforcement community and ensuring they have the respect, resources, and backing they deserve. Thank you for all that you do, today and every day.

I had the chance to attend and present a citation to the Dupuis’ Annual Christmas Light Extravaganza in Coventry with State Representative Tim Ackert, and it was truly something special. What started in 2018 as a family tradition by Mr. Dale Dupuis became a gift to the entire community during COVID, giving families a safe way to enjoy the holidays from their cars. Today, visitors can even walk the driveway and take it all in! People travel from NJ, NY, MA, and beyond to see these incredible lights. Huge thanks and recognition to the Dupuis family for creating such a beloved holiday tradition year after year
