I'm grateful to have the Hoffman family and their auto group right here in East Hartford. Since 1921, Hoffman Auto Group has served the state of Connecticut as a leader in the automotive industry. I love to see the continued expansion of Hoffman's footprint and presence here in the Town of East Hartford. I know that through their vision, this area of East Hartford will continue to thrive and I look forward to welcoming Hoffman Lincoln when they are ready to open their doors. Congratulations on this week's groundbreaking !

This week is known as National Police Week, when we proudly honor the brave men and women who serve and protect our community every day.

It was such an honor to stand alongside our East Hartford Police Department police officers earlier this week by the Police Memorial at a beautiful ceremony remembering our fallen officers as part of Peace Officers Day. Your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to public safety do not go unnoticed. Thank you for what you do!

This week, the East Hartford Police Department joins communities across the nation in recognizing National Police Week and National Peace Officers Memorial Day on May 15th.

We honor and remember the brave law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty while protecting and serving their communities. Their courage, dedication, and selfless service will never be forgotten.
