Happy Pride Month! Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and kindness. I’m proud to support a community where everyone feels welcome.

Yesterday it rained. We still had to finish spreading millings on a road, so we went out as a family. Graded, crushed, raked. Wet boots, muddy kids, the work gets done.

There are no breaks on a farm. Rain or shine. Friday night, I was out at 3 am checking on the horses because a pack of coyotes was moving through. The projects don't stop. They just shift to whatever the day or night throws at you.

I think about this when I drive through the district. To***co. Dairy. Vegetables. Hay. Cows, horses, chickens. The open space we all enjoy isn't a postcard. It's somebody's 5 am. Somebody's broken tractor. Somebody's 3 am coyote.

A few small things you can do this summer to help keep it that way:

1) When you're behind a tractor or a slow-moving flatbed of to***co on Route 75, 159, 187 or our towns' smaller roads, give them space. They're working.

2) Buy your produce at the Farmers Market or a roadside stand. It matters more than you think.

3) Join a CSA if you can. The whole point is steady income for a small farm.

When you have a choice between local and not, choose local.

These aren't policy positions. They're the difference between a district that still has working farms in ten years and one that doesn't.

I am so grateful for the support I've received in my campaign for so far. It's clear that residents of our communities need a stronger voice in Hartford.

In order for me to be successful, I need your support. Please consider a small donation to my campaign to help me qualify for public financing, so I can run a competitive race.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you for coming to Comptroller Sean Scanlon to listen to our children! We are looking forward to helping you get reelected so you can continue to work towards a better future for all, but especially our young people.

The other morning, I had a high school student look me in the eye and tell me she was terrified every day of a school shooting. A classmate told me that it’s normalized to “stay quiet” about the stress and anxiety they feel. Another talked about “getting lost in my phone” as an escape from the daily pressure he feels.

The challenges facing this generation of young people are real and staggering, and as a dad and as an elected official, I’m increasingly interested in figuring out what we can do about it.

So I went to Suffield High this week to listen to a group of sophomores talk about, well, everything. Academic pressure. Social media. Cell phones. Mental health.

Like so many public policy problems we face, there aren’t easy answers to these. But I left more convinced than ever that we have to take what they’re grappling with way more seriously. And I left hopeful that, with their help, we will.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the heroes who gave their lives defending our freedoms. We owe them and their families a debt of gratitude that can never truly be repaid. May we always honor their sacrifice. 🇺🇸
