Eastern Connecticut needs more quality and affordable homes to meet demand and lower costs. I met with the Home Builders and Remodelers of CT to discuss the work ahead to increase our region’s housing supply. The House just passed the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, a major

This week’s Social Security solvency report is a clear warning to Congress that we must reverse the Trump policies that are damaging the program and act swiftly to prevent the 2032 benefit cut. Social Security is an earned benefit – not an entitlement – that Americans pay into

I voted no on the unpaid-for partisan budget bill. At a time when Americans want their elected leaders to focus on the cost of living, this bill does nothing to address affordability. Instead, it gives a $70 billion blank check to President Trump’s ICE. These are not the
