At the age of 14, my family and I moved from a diverse economically disadvantaged community to a more affluent town, with much less diversity. It was a lateral move housing wise. It’s informed my unique perspective on belonging and how community dynamics shape opportunities & worldviews.

As a freshman legislator the pandemic hit. I became extraordinarily close to my constituents during the worst days of their lives. Government helped. I have an increasing sense of dread of what we will be actually able to do in the face of this cruelty.

When science is under attack, we stand united to protect it. The National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have all experienced large-scale job cuts and shrinking budgets. Here in Connecticut, we're #StandingUpForScience.
A collage of images depicting a pro-science rally titled "Stand Up for Science 2025." The central image is a poster featuring the Statue of Liberty and event details. Surrounding images show protesters holding signs with messages such as "Science makes America GREAT," "Oligos Not Oligarchs," "Save Our Science," and "Science Saved My Life." A man in a wheelchair holds a sign emphasizing the personal impact of science. Other images include Senator Richard Blumenthal addressing the crowd, a protester holding a "No Kings" sign, and another holding a sign with a biohazard symbol over RFK Jr.'s face.
