I was grateful to receive recognition from the Daughters of the American Revolution for my welcoming remarks at the dedication ceremony of the Jonathan Edwards Monument.
It was a privilege to take part in an event celebrating an important piece of Connecticut and American history. Thank you to the Daughters of the American Revolution for this recognition and for your continued dedication to preserving our nation’s history and heritage.
Yesterday, I joined federal, state, and local officials for the groundbreaking of the new Enfield train station in Thompsonville!
After 40 years without passenger rail service, this project is an important step toward reconnecting Enfield to the Hartford Line, improving transportation options, and creating new opportunities for our community.
Thank you to Governor Ned Lamont, Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal, Congressman Joe Courtney, CTDOT Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto, and our local leaders and community partners for their work and commitment to making this project a reality.
I look forward to seeing the benefits this station will bring to Enfield and the surrounding communities!
I enjoyed stopping by the Somers Scarecrow Festival at the Four Town Fairgrounds! The scarecrow contest brought plenty of creativity and fall spirit to the community, along with activities for families to enjoy.
Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this a fun local tradition!
