I am proud to announce that Brooklyn has been awarded $146,160 in state grant funding through Connecticut’s newly established High-Quality Special Education Incentive Grant Program. This competitive grant was established by Public Act No. 25-93 and with strong advocacy, the Brooklyn Public Schools, application was approved. Thanks to Superintendent Michele Raynor for the application work and to Governor Ned Lamont for the support.

Earlier this week, I joined UConn President Radenka Maric, Chief of Police/Associate Vice-President of UConn Division of University Safety Gene Labonte, and Fire Chief Chris Renshaw, attending "roll call' with the UConn Police Department and meeting with the duty crew of the UConn Fire Department to talk about the status of recent legislative efforts to improve Campus Safety and maintain the strongest force of LEO &, EMS professionals and Firefighters possible at Connecticut's flagship university. In particular, we discussed the new Storrs Paramedic authorization, campus safety planning in both Storrs and the regional campuses, and recruitment and retention efforts for sworn personnel.

It was great to spend time on the Community Workbench Podcast in Brooklyn last night, talking about Scouting! Thanks to Matthew Noren for having me on with a great group of community-minded panelists.

Former Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman is one of the classiest people you will ever find in Public Service. When I was new to the game, she went out of her way to offer encouragement and to check in on me as a fellow "Northeastern Connecticut" person. She set the example that politics can be civil and not mean-spirited. When I saw her in May, she was quick to offer a hug and ask me if I was taking care of Ashford, as when she was a State Rep, Ashford was in her legislative district. I am sad to learn of her passing.

Thank you for helping me be a better public servant, Nancy!

Another incredibly busy week around the district and our state! I started things off in New London with a press conference announcing new initiatives to recruit and retain our next generation of first responders. Back in the Quiet Corner, I had a great time attending the Community Breakfast at the Senexet Grange in Woodstock, which featured insightful conversation and updates from Congressman Joe Courtney. I also had the opportunity to stop by a well-attended Veteran Stand Down event at CT State Quinebaug Valley, where I spoke directly with our local veterans and the dedicated service providers who support them. To wrap up the weekend on Sunday, I visited The Brooklyn Historical Society Museum for a fascinating living history presentation on the life of General Israel Putnam. As someone who deeply values our local heritage, I am incredibly proud and humbled to hold the Connecticut General Assembly seat once occupied by General Putnam himself. Thank you to everyone who made these events so impactful.
