the good, the bad, and the ugly

The campaign season has begun. The good, the bad, and the ugly of this time of year are on full display here in the Fifth District… My work in Washington has had a direct impact on my constituents in CT-05 – and THAT is what I’m campaigning on! We are ramping up our field organization to make sure…

BREAKING: Roe falls

You would think that the leaked decision would have prepared me for the pain I’m feeling right now – but it did not. Although we expected this after the leaked draft opinion previewing the reversal of Roe v. Wade, nothing could have prepared me for what I am feeling right now. Pain, sadness, conc…

Happy Pride!

Every person – no matter who they love, or how they identify – deserves equal protection under the law. That’s why I am an original co-sponsor of the Equality Act, which is historic legislation that extends full anti-discrimination protections to LGBTQ+ people under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. …
