When I took office, Connecticut needed stability and a clear path forward. We had been through years of budget challenges and uncertainty, but I knew this state could do big things when we worked together. And over the past few years, we have proven that.

We have made real progress, and there is more to do. Families across Connecticut are still feeling squeezed by rising healthcare, childcare, housing, and energy costs, pressures driven in part by Trump Administration decisions that make everyday life more expensive. Connecticut needs a state government that stands up for people, focuses on affordability, and does not back down.

That’s why my Connecticut Forward agenda tackles costs head-on and focuses on affordability and opportunity at every stage.
