Born in Queens. Raised in Bethel. Named after a football player. But please, tell me more about what makes a name American.

From playing at Parloa Park as a kid to securing $500,000 to help transform it for the next generation! It took months of persistence and pushing through bureaucracy, but we got it done. Leslie Knope would be proud.

Been spending a lot of time at the doors. Grateful to everyone who’s taken a few minutes to chat, and especially to the friends and volunteers keeping me moving from door to door!

The Cornell sexual assault case is hitting especially close to home. One of the individuals named in these deeply disturbing allegations has ties to our Bethel community. As this story reaches home, I felt it was important to speak.

Fighting the puppy mill-to-pet store pipeline is serious work. Getting everyone to cooperate for the photos… less so. A few behind-the-scenes outtakes for National Puppy Mill Awareness Day. #AdoptDontShop

Politics has no shortage of noise and distractions. I’m focused on the issues that actually impact people here at home. Affordability. Energy costs. Jobs. Our economy. My record speaks for itself. @CBIANews – at Bethel, CT

Bringing state dollars home and putting them to work. I welcomed @GovNedLamont to Bethel to see more than $1.1M in state investments I fought for at Clarke Business Park and Parloa Park. Economic growth. Better community spaces. Real results for Bethel. – at Bethel, CT

From concerns raised in Bethel to a statewide conversation. Appreciate the @HartfordBiz highlighting this work. We’re making sure local concerns about life safety, transparency, and oversight are heard and acted on. More to come. hartfordbusiness.com/article…

Concerns raised in Bethel are helping drive a statewide conversation. Today we brought state & local experts together to examine emerging construction methods, life safety and local oversight. Innovation shouldn’t come at the expense of safety, transparency or accountability. – at Hartford, CT

What a night! @LukeBronin takes on a longtime incumbent and wins. Proud to have been with him from the start. Congratulations, my friend! – at Hartford, CT

Today we honored Emily Todd’s legacy and celebrated the next chapter in domestic violence accountability. Grateful to everyone who made this work possible and especially to Jenn Lawlor for turning unimaginable loss into lasting change. 💜 wtnh.com/news/connecticut/co…

I used to think I had to leave Bethel to be myself. Today, I stood in the middle of Bethel Pride and told the next generation: You belong here. Happy Pride, Bethel. 🌈

Excited to join the panel for the upcoming Salons at Stowe: Pride Month Forum on June 3rd at the Stowe Center for Literary Activism, an organization dedicated to advancing social justice through dialogue and civic engagement. Looking forward to an important conversation 🏳️‍🌈

That’s all.

Passed unanimously. HB 5313 creates a path to track domestic violence cases across the system, from arrest through sentencing, so we can finally understand outcomes and strengthen accountability. For Emily. For survivors.

Today I helped lead debate on the House floor and passed a bill to modernize CT’s fertility coverage laws. Because people shouldn’t pay into coverage they can’t access. Period.

I had the chance to visit the after-school program at Kind Works a program I was proud to help fund. Kids come here after school to learn, make friends, and have a safe place to be. They handed me handwritten notes sharing what this place means to them. This is why I do the work.

This article highlights two different approaches to housing policy, building faster, & building safely. That’s why I introduced this bill to make sure safety review happens before approvals are granted when new construction methods are used. courant.com/2026/03/30/two-c…
