Thanks to our amazing team, we won. I’m grateful for the tens of thousands of Connecticut voters who put their trust in me to continue fighting for them in Congress. I’m humbled by your support. Yesterday the American public spoke clearly around the country and didn’t send a mandate to either side of the aisle. …
No matter how you slice it, Connecticut’s economy is on the upswing. We have a $4.3 billion surplus in the bank, new business registration is at its highest since 2006, and overall economic activity is in the top half of the nation. Thanks to the Governor’s hard work, along with my fellow Connecticut Democrats in …
Happy back-to-school season! I know it’s a busy time of year for parents with school-aged children, so I’ll be brief. I’m a proud product of public schools. I owe a lot to the faculty and staff at Hopewell Valley Regional School District, who prepared me well both academically and professionally. And ever since I was first …
The Inflation Reduction Act is on its way to President Biden’s desk. I couldn’t be more excited about this legislation. It’s going to transform American energy, invest in good-paying jobs, lower costs for American families, and confront the climate crisis. I know it took a whole lot of time and effort, but we’ve finally gotten …
As we continue to celebrate Pride Month, we recommit ourselves to the fight for equal rights and recognize the many contributions LGBTQ+ Americans have made to our country. These historic achievements should be celebrated, and it is important that we remember that Pride began with Stonewall, Marsha Johnson, Stormé DeLarverie, Sylvia Rivera, and the countless …
Our hearts are still raw and broken for the students and teachers who lost their lives in Uvalde, and for the families, friends, peers, and mentors left without them. We grieve with the people of Uvalde and for Texas, from Connecticut to Arizona, to Florida, Nevada, and Colorado.
Time and again our nation has asked, what is it going to take for us to make our schools and communities safer?
The Supreme Court is on the cusp of dismantling basic rights that have been upheld for two generations. As a result of this pending decision 36 million women across 28 states could lose access to essential healthcare services overnight.
That is not right. And to say we are disappointed, angry, and outraged…well, that just doesn’t cut it.
We don’t take rights away in this country. We don’t strip away privacy, and we don’t ban a person’s ability to make informed healthcare decisions because we disagree with it.
All over the world, democracy is in question. We’ve seen it in Ukraine, when Vladimir Putin decided we’re going backwards to a world where you can just take a country because you feel you have the strength to do so, we see it in China where the President believes that democracy is a failed experiment, …
I thought I’d update you on some of the progress we’ve made here in the Fourth District. Just last month I secured over $12.4 million for 10 critical community projects across the district. We’re making progress from infrastructure improvements and academic enhancement to community resilience, revitalization, and innovation.
For the first time in its 233-year history, a Black woman has been confirmed to sit on the Supreme Court. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s qualifications, record on the bench, and her historic achievement today speak for themselves.
It took us over two centuries to take this significant step, and we will continue to work to break the barriers that prevent Black leaders from reaching the upper echelons of government and many parts of society.
