    Congratulations to Mary Lynn Ortiz, the owner of Borinquen Bakery in . Earlier today, Mary (who dreamed of following in her father’s footsteps & owning her own bakery) was recognized with the SBA’s Minority-Owned Business of the Year award.

    Effectively cutting off the access to care for those who most need it is incomprehensible to me. I will forcefully oppose--and women and men throughout this country will forcefully oppose--any attempt to rob Americans of health services that they depend on for survival.

    We need more access to quality health care, not less. This change in priorities will not reduce the rate of abortions. What it will do, though, is make it harder for women throughout the country to access vital services like pap tests, HIV screenings, and breast exams.

    Title X exists specifically to ensure comprehensive, evidence-based contraception, and reproductive health services to people across the country—including thousands of patients right here in Connecticut.

    The Trump-Pence administration’s and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ decision to change Title X programs is affront to the millions of men & women who depend on Planned Parenthood for vital health care services.

    Pleased to see Connecticut continue to lead by example in preventing future gun violence after a bipartisan vote in the House to ban the sale of bump stocks last night. Another positive step forward in keeping our communities safe.

    More & more young people do not want to own a car. And, with investments in mass transit and ride sharing features, we can attract businesses and families who are looking for an easy commute.

    We all know the value of making investments in our infrastructure systems: it's an investment in safety, jobs, and the competitiveness of American-owned businesses. But when we talk about these investments, we need to get creative and meet the needs and values of the people.

    Agreed--transforming these abandoned spaces into economic assets is truly one of the best investments we can make.

    Thank you , , , , , & for co-sponsoring this important bill. Tax deduction was the most powerful thing the Federal government ever did to promote cleanup & redevelopment across the U.S.

    Connecticut is built on its strong manufacturing tradition and thrives as a national leader in manufacturing, particularly for the defense industry. We need to keep investing in our most important resource – our people.

    This is one step of many I plan to take during my remaining time in office to challenge the issue of sexual violence, and I look forward to continuing this conversation with my colleagues.

    It recognizes the unique needs of these survivors & calls for research that draws attention to the disproportionate levels of sexual violence and the impact of sexual violence on a diverse survivor population.

    The Resolution affirms a commitment to elevate the voices of historically under-served communities and currently disenfranchised in an effort to end sexual violence and provide support for survivors.

    We need to affirm our commitment to elevating the voices & needs of historically disenfranchised communities in the effort to end sexual violence including immigrant survivors, survivors with disabilities, survivors of color, survivors of child sex abuse, and LGBTQIA+ survivors.
