I don’t know about you but l like my lettuce without poop in it. But when Taylor Farms lettuce tested positive for cyclospora, the FDA called it a "false positive" and walked it back. The same Taylor Farms that donated to Trump. We deserve better. #CT #Cyclospora #FDA #Consumer #connecticut

Celebrating a land shaped by its immigrants and dreamers. Let’s keep moving forward until everyone shares in the promise of liberty and justice. 🎇

If we want to get money out of politics, then that’s gonna mean out of municipal politics too. #ct #connecticut #corruption

Puppy day at the capital today with the CT humane society. This little one fell asleep on me

Hard at work in Hartford today, focused on getting things done.

The schedule says April 20 but I’ve learned to show up early. #ct #connecticut #politics

After a dramatic kickball walk-off win, we had a great surprise running into UConn star Silas Demary Jr.! #ct #conneticut #uconn #kickball

Earlier this week was Domestic Violence Prevention Day at the Capitol. I had the opportunity to meet with so many incredible organizations, including Safe Futures, which does vital work supporting survivors. Thank you to Katherine Verano and the entire team for all that you do. #ct #connecticut

What happens after people leave prison should matters to all of us. When we help people prepare for life after prison, communities get safer and stronger. @famm.org #CriminalJusticeReform #ct #visitaprison #prison #connecticut

Minnie and I both think these are common sense… #ct #connecticut

Good day in Finance. We advanced real affordability measures that actually help the people feeling the squeeze in Connecticut.

Good luck to UConn and Quinnipiac as they head to the NCAA hockey tournament! Let's go CT! 🏒 #BleedBlue #GoBobcats #CTHockey

Voters overwhelmingly approved no excuse absentee voting. So in committee, Republicans tried to tack on amendment after amendment. So l asked: how much do your proposals cost? They called it a “ridiculous question” and suddenly didn’t want to talk about price tags anymore. #connecticut

Late Friday night at the Capital! The government administrations and elections committee started at noon and finished up just before midnight. And we will be back at it on Monday. But I’ve got some great fellow freshman on the committee who stuck through it with me! #ct #connecticut

At today's Irish flag-raising, I was reflecting on a history lesson that feels urgent. The Ancient Order of Hibernians reminded us Irish immigrants were once depicted as apes to justify exclusion and violence. The language changes. The strategy doesn't: find an other, strip their dignity, divide us

Happy St.Patricks day! Over the weekend I did the O’Niantic 5k, a great event put on by the Hartford Marathon Foundation. #stpatricks #ct #irish #connecticut #niantic

1 in 10 women live with endometriosis, yet so many suffer in silence. During Endometriosis Awareness Month, I recommit to policies that center women’s health and validate patient experiences. 💛 Here are some valuable resources for Endometriosis: 🔗Endofound.org/ct 🔗Endometriosisassn.org

Government has a responsibility to protect its citizens. That’s why we’re working on legislation like HB 5342, addressing deceptive AI media in elections, and SB 4 & SB 5, which focus on protecting Connecticut residents and strengthening safeguards for our communities. #ai #ct #connecticut #protect

Stopped by Flanders School to read to Mr. Wight's class! We talked about the lessons in the stories we read, what my favorite parts were, and a little bit about what I do as a state representative. #FlandersSchool #EastLyme #ReadingWithKids #FutureLeaders #readacrossamerica

What do you think about ranked choice voting in Connecticut? More voter choice? Stronger majority winners? Or too complicated? Let me know. #CTPolitics #RankedChoiceVoting #Democracy #Connecticut #ct

The Tax Equity Caucus held a press conference Friday focused on one simple idea: if we want to make Connecticut more affordable, we have to stop balancing the system on the backs of regular people. Affordability starts with fairness. #CTPolitics #TaxEquity #Connecticut #CT

Voted to protect voter data and make early voting easier for voters and our election workers #ct #connecticut #election #elections

Yesterday, the House honored State Representative Kevin Ryan. As the current Montville delegation, it meant a great deal for the three of us to stand together and recognize his service to Montville, our region and our state.
