Finished signing this batch of Derby, Hamden, and Orange new voter cards…and almost done with Woodbridge.
My hand hurts 😂
Great job new voters of the 114th of taking that first step to exercise your right to vote and make your voice heard!

Joined thousands of others at the ‘Hands Off’ protest on the New Haven Green today.
None of us will ever agree w/others 100%, but it was heartening to see so many who are committed to our country & constitution, and are willing to work for a better future for everyone.#handsoff#ctpolitics

Had to change my plans for the week.

Serving alongside these AMAZING women will forever be one of the proudest achievements in my life.
Thank you to all the women who supported all of to get to this point. I have to thank my Mom who led by the best example. I love you and miss you Mom.

Just going to leave this here… 💛💙

After 12 hours of listening in-person, I finished the last handful of testifiers on my drive home. Today was the ED version of the ‘library bill’, along w/other proposals that included supporting para-educators, & creating plans to combat the shocking rise of antisemitism in our schools.

Another long public hearing for the Children’s Committee. Despite only 40 people being signed up to testify, the hearing lasted 8 hours.
We heard a lot of passionate testimony and were able to eventually drill down on constructive feedback to improve some bills. #TeamKIDS

9 solid hours of testimony in the Children’s Committee that ended almost exactly at midnight. Today’s hearing was one of the most bizarre conglomerations of public input I have heard so far. Proud to support our libraries, librarians, and early childcare professionals.

Today was a long, infuriating day full of unnecessary and intentional cruelty from the Trump administration and Republican elected officials who allow this to go unchallenged.
