"We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires, but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of the public schools, and the number of people who can and do read worthwhile books."
~ W. E. B. Du Bois

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.

My latest for @ctmirror.org
There's bipartisan agreement that private equity buying up CT homes is a problem. But concern without action isn't leadership.
I was part of a working group focused on finding tools. The question is whether we'll act—or just talk.

Really excited about this because now we can finally start working to get these sidewalks done that the Montville Manor desperately needs.

Strong readers build strong communities. 📚❤️
During Read Across America Week, join me in celebrating the educators, librarians, families, and students who keep the love of reading alive in our district.
You can find resources, book ideas, and ways to participate at nea.org/ReadAcrossAmerica
Couldnt agree more

It’s hard not to feel angry watching what passes for leadership in Washington right now.
The stakes are real. People are dying.
We need to be better than this.
Tomorrow I get to celebrate Read Across America in three East Lyme schools — and that kind of stuff helps me keep going
Private equity is reshaping our housing market — and not in a way that helps working families.
I shared some thoughts in The Day about how Connecticut can respond. I hope you’ll take a moment to read it.

AI-generated deepfakes are getting harder to spot—and they're showing up in political ads, news clips, and online content meant to deceive.
HB 5342 takes on deceptive AI media head-on. It's about transparency, truth, and making sure you know when what you're watching isn't real.
What do you think about ranked choice voting in Connecticut?
More voter choice? Stronger majority winners? Or too complicated?
Let me know.

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.

He said he would lower grocery prices on day one.
He lied.
He said he would lower your taxes.
He lied.
He said he would only deport criminals.
He lied.
He said he would end wars.
He lied.
He said he would put “America first.”
It was all a big, beautiful lie.
Im taking part in the Coldest Night 5k tonight! My team Compassionate Soles, is hoping to raise money along with all of the other walkers to support people and families experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Hope you can help!

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.
The voices in this article reflect what I heard firsthand at Bay Point today: heat outages, unsafe walkways, and families unsure where they’ll live next year. This isn’t just a Niantic issue, it’s statewide. Connecticut renters deserve safe, stable, dignified housing.

If you support the Child Tax Credit, sign up to testify for this Friday, 2/27. There are a number of great bills on the list for the public hearing
www.cga.ct.gov/2026/findata...
The Senate version of the Child Tax Credit, SB 103, is designed to phase in.
Instead of starting at $600 immediately, the credit would gradually increase over three years.
