Connecticut’s new Paid Family & Medical Leave program, which begins this year, is a crucial lifeline for working families during COVID-19 and beyond. I joined my colleague, @Porter4DaPeople in an op-ed on the importance of this program. https://t.co/kK6Y9QzFtl

Passing paid family leave was exciting <U+2014> seeing the first recipients in the district receive benefits will be even better. Here<U+2019>s wishing everyone a very happy New Year! https://t.co/UrK9blOyEa
We are so very fortunate to have this amazing resource in our community! I’m so happy these children have a way to enjoy the summer — especially in this extreme heat. Thanks to Director Marie Miszewski for showing me around! https://t.co/akPSkLdZti
Check out the new website for .@CTPaidLeave! It is so rewarding to see this important benefit for working families come to fruition. I ran on this in 2018, we passed the legislation in 2019, and it will start paying out benefits in 2021. https://t.co/4drEXnTFkc https://t.co/lly7brdN1J

The endorsement of the @CTYoungDems is very special. Its exciting that young people are engaged and involved in making change.

Im honored to receive the endorsement of the #naswct. In 2019, I passed bipartisan legislation, An Act Concerning Social Workers that strengthened the profession in Connecticut. Its important to recognize the essential role social workers play in strengthening our communities. https://t.co/kqNjFUNGTp
