I'm so excited to announce something I worked on when we were all stuck at home... I wrote a book! And it’s now available for pre-order: simonandschuster.com/books/1…
Nearly every week, I get a call from a student or recent graduate who wants to run for office...
Every generation deserves a seat at the table. That’s why I visited Tolland to Get Out the Vote with @ethan_werstler — soon, he’ll be the youngest state senator in CT. From housing to higher education, he’ll fight for our generation’s right to a Connecticut we can afford.
I’ve got a Pavlovian response to Fall in CT… it’s time to knock doors. Loved talking to voters yesterday about my friends @BergerGirvaloCT, @RepAnneHughes, and Sam Nestor (the next state senator from the 26th district)!

Under Governor Lamont, Connecticut schools are among the best in the country. Let's build on that progress.
Good time to remember that @ryanfazio was one of just four Senators who opposed AI safety regulations in CT.
Disqualifying.

Eileen has been a nurse for more than 40 years. She’s seen it all and knows Connecticut families can’t afford Ryan Fazio’s record of raising health care costs and voting against help to cover them. That’s why she’s standing with Governor Lamont.

Ryan Fazio supports Trump’s agenda and ICE’s brutal crackdown on our communities. He even wrote a bill that would require state authorities to coordinate deportation with ICE and voted to allow agents into hospitals, schools, and places of worship.

This is my first story for the Examiner. Had a great run at the Mirror including a Pulitzer, but if you know me you now I've always been cops and courts guy at heart so going back to my roots especially in this case as I covered many of these NH cases. ctexaminer.com/2026/05/26/tr…

Our budget provides free school breakfast for every student so every child starts the day right. 🍎🍌🍴

HAPPENING NOW: You’re looking at the future of commuter rail cars in CT
This is a prototype with full WiFi, laptop tables, and fully accessible restrooms
60 new cars start rolling out next year— first on @hartfordline and eventually on @MetroNorth branch lines

Attention High School Students:
If you get good grades, you can receive automatic admission to 10 public and private colleges and universities in Connecticut. I strongly encourage every high school student to seize this opportunity. portal.ct.gov/governor/news/…
Reckless driving is bad and no one should do it. No question.
But you’re talking about deporting a teenager without any due process. CT doesn’t shield people convicted of a crime — but should we be complicit in the separation of families when someone is accused of a misdemeanor?
The man who was arrested for injuring two cops in Enfield is the country illegally. But under CT’s amnesty Trust Act, CT authorities are prohibited from turning him over to immigration authorities despite his arrest. On top of that our taxpayers are forced to spend hundreds of millions subsidizing people in the country illegally. We could have sensible, balanced policies that most people support—but instead CT Dems insist on crazy & dangerous ones.
And I hope it rained today on whatever beach @JohnFetterman eventually made it to.
Thrilled to share that I graduated from law school last month and will begin working as a public defender with @LegalAidNYC this Fall. We’re living through scary times — looking forward to standing up in court for the rights of those who could not otherwise afford an attorney.
When I was in the CT State Senate, I was the founder, leader, and, well, sole member of the Senate’s Renters Caucus.
Maybe CT can make progress on preventing evictions and capping rents by electing a representative legislature. After all, 1/3 of CT residents rent their home!
