Yesterday we spent 11.5 hours in committee holding public hearings on major legislation. Long day, but important work.
I’m always working to keep the people of the 7th District informed and involved. Let me know what you think!

On Thursday, March 5th, I had the pleasure of visiting the Enfield Early Childhood Development Center to celebrate Read Across America! I read The Little Blue Truck, which was a big hit with the students. It’s always great to spend time with our young learners and encourage a love of reading at an early age. 📚🚚
Thank you to Eileen Gardner, Amy Morales, and Lori Lajoie for always including me in this wonderful event! Also want thank all the fabulous parents, volunteers, and teachers for all they do!
