Anyone turned on their heat yet? We just got a delivery at $6.399 per gallon. A 169 gallons later and the bill was for over $1,000. That’s a bit over half a tank. Thanks to Trump and his illegal war in Iran, home heating oil costs are up over 86% from last year according to the Hartford Courant.

Happy to celebrate the opening of another new business in Norwalk. Welcome, Chez Jack at 666 Main Avenue. We joined owners Jack and Alice Fournier to cut the ribbon on their family-owned neighborhood café, which serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch, with a little love in every bite.

Did you hear the Trump regime’s Department of (in)Justice has possibly subpoenaed voting records in at least three municipalities across Connecticut? Another feeble attempt by corrupt people to try and sow doubt and create chaos before the election. Vote early and encourage others to do the same

Thanks to Gov. Ned Lamont and Mayor Barbara Smyth, October is Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Awareness Month. This is one of the most common childhood issues that continues through adolescence and adulthood. Bringing awareness will help to improve the lives of countless families.

You’ll want to read this, but it might raise your blood pressure. People across Connecticut are sick and tired of paying more every month while giant corporations like Eversource make money hand over fist. senatedems.ct.gov/eversource-ceo…

Did you hear about Trump’s pathetic jobs report yesterday? His own administration admitted they created only 29,000 jobs in September. Falling far short of expectations - as usual. UConn’s football stadium holds 40,000, greater than his September numbers for the entire country.

State Rep. Lucy Dathan and I hit the doors today in Norwalk. Pretty warm out and reminded me of a summer day, even though we only have 32 days to go until Election Day! Early voting begins on Oct 19. No excuse absentee ballot applications are available online too if you’d prefer to vote by mail.

Cruelty is their only accomplishment. The Trump regime wants to strip away more than 90% of the standards that make Head Start work, from limits on class size to the requirement that young children be supervised at all times. It’s how you kill a program without having the courage to vote on it.

State Rep. Dominique Johnson and I hit the doors on Saturday in Norwalk reminding voters about the upcoming election on Nov. 3. There was high awareness of the upcoming election. “We’re voting so you can keep protecting us in Connecticut and we want to stop the insanity in Washington, D.C.”

The Norwalk delegation and I secured a state grant for $1,234,725 to maintain and improve local roads. The city decides which projects to fund, The grant helps Norwalk keep the streets residents use every day safe and in good repair and supplements what the city has already appropriated.

Higher gas prices have caused Connecticut drivers to pay $1,000,000 more per day. Diesel is at a record high, Trump’s own Fed raised interest rates because inflation is so bad, home heating oil is unaffordable, and the oil supply could be constrained even further because of the illegal Iran War.

Trump couldn’t bother to show up to the 9/11 ceremony in NYC on Friday, but he had no problem going to the MAGA convention in Dallas Wed & Thur and then flying to Ireland over the weekend on the taxpayer’s dime to attend a Trump golf course tourney. Maybe it is all about him.

After 2 postponements because of rain delays, the Brien McMahon Band & Guard was finally able to have their Friends and Family Night. The band is growing and the show for this fall sounds amazing.

September 3 marks 60 days until Election Day. Tired of the chaos, corruption and shredding of our Constitution? Who’s speaking up and fighting for you? Electing your state legislator is very important. We are on the front lines fighting this regime in Washington. Make a plan to vote!
