John,

Last week, I announced that I will be stepping down as Chair of the Connecticut Democratic Party as of June 10th.

Today, as Connecticut Democrats prepare to elect my successor, I want to let you know what an honor it has been to serve in this role since 2019.

I am so grateful to Governor Ned Lamont for giving me this opportunity to serve. Throughout my decades of service in Connecticut politics I have met so many incredible Democrats, and I've been lucky to have such an amazing career. I hope to continue supporting Connecticut Democrats by stepping into Nancy DiNardo's role on the DNC.

John, I'M VERY PROUD OF WHAT CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS.

Thanks to our hard-won Democratic trifecta, last year Governor Lamont signed the most comprehensive paid family and medical leave law in the entire country, and we raised Connecticut's minimum wage to $15 an hour. We've taken major steps forward on a wide variety of issues including debt-free community college, common sense gun safety, clean energy, and police accountability.

This is an extraordinary election year, John, and it isn't just about defeating Donald Trump on November 3rd.

I believe in a world founded on freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Today, millions of Americans are unable to live without fear -- fear of when their next paycheck will arrive, if their family can afford health care or to pay their rent or mortgage, and of a justice system that targets people because of their skin color.

Connecticut Democrats are mobilizing for progress on all of these issues, and although there is a lot of work that remains ahead of us, I believe that if we continue working together we will succeed in creating a more just and equitable world for every American.

Thank you for everything, John, and let's keep in touch!
