Happy Mother's Day, John!

To all of the mothers in Connecticut, I hope that you are
enjoying a relaxing and joyful Sunday.

Social distancing has made this year's celebration of motherhood
a bit different than usual, but even if you've had to replace
Mother's Day brunch with a phone call or video chat, I hope that
you and your family are making the most of this day.

Yesterday morning, Connecticut Democrats successfully hosted our
first-ever virtual Democratic State Convention where we
nominated state party leaders. Today,
I'm reflecting on what this year's elections truly mean for
Connecticut's mothers and grandmothers.

As a mother and a grandmother myself, I don't want my children
or grandchildren to have to live in a country where a misogynist
like Donald Trump is president. That's why I'm so focused on
mobilizing voters to ensure that we elect a Democratic president
in November.

But this year isn't just about defeating Donald Trump -- we're
mobilizing for progress on the issues that affect the lives of
Connecticut mothers every day.

What mothers in Connecticut actually want isn't just one day of
flowers and breakfast in bed.

We want guaranteed paid family and medical leave, universal
affordable child care, an end to the gender pay gap, and
certainty that our reproductive rights and health care decisions
will never be threatened by anyone.

We also want our daughters and granddaughters to grow up knowing
that their gender will never stand in the way of them achieving
their dreams.

I'm proud of what Connecticut has already accomplished on these
issues -- our state now has the most robust paid family and
medical leave law in the entire country, and we are one of only
thirteen states in the nation that guarantees the right to an
abortion by state law.

But we still have a lot of work ahead of us. So this Mother's
Day, let's commit to pushing forward every day this year on the
issues that truly matter to Connecticut mothers and grandmothers.

Thank you John, and Happy Mother's Day!
