Today, I stood with my Senate Republican colleagues to unveil a comprehensive plan to fix Connecticut’s affordability crisis!
We hear it everywhere we go. Families cannot afford the cost of living in our state.
Our plan delivers structural, permanent relief by eliminating the car tax for working families, cutting income taxes, and lowering electric bills that have spiraled out of control.
Enough excuses. Enough finger-pointing. It is time to deliver real relief for the people of Connecticut, and that is exactly what we are fighting to do this legislative session!
Proud to join Governor Lamont, Senator Honig, First Selectwoman Raap, and staff from EdAdvance in Litchfield to announce $830,000 in state funding to expand access to school-based mental health services across the Northwest Corner.
Mental health resources are critical, and this investment will strengthen support systems for students throughout Litchfield County, ensuring they have the care they need to learn and thrive.
Join State Representative Billy Buckbee and me for the Love for Legislation event at the New Milford Public Library on February 14th, at 10:00 a.m. This event will connect the community with their legislators, discuss the legislative session, and dive into the process of how a bill becomes a law. We hope to see you there!
