When I took office, Connecticut needed stability and a clear path forward. After years of budget challenges and uncertainty, we came together to turn our state around — and together, we’ve made real progress.

We balanced budgets, strengthened our economy, protected our values, and made historic investments in education, childcare, infrastructure, and working families. But our work is far from finished.

Families across Connecticut are still feeling squeezed by rising healthcare, childcare, housing, and energy costs. These pressures are made even worse by decisions from the Trump administration that threaten affordability, stability, and our rights.

That’s why I’m running: to keep Connecticut moving forward.

My priorities are focused on lowering costs, expanding opportunity, and building a state where every family has the chance to succeed. That means continuing our work to implement universal pre-K, make healthcare more affordable and accessible, tackle the housing shortage, strengthen public education and special education funding, protect reproductive freedom and LGBTQ rights, and grow an economy that works for everyone.

This election is about the future direction of our state and every vote will matter.

The Democratic primary will be held on August 11, with early voting and absentee voting available. I hope you’ll make a plan to vote and support my re-election as we continue building a stronger, more affordable Connecticut.

Thank you for believing in Connecticut’s future.
