It was great to join the annual Enfield Economic Forum at CT State Community College Asnuntuck Campus and hear from local business and community leaders about the future of Enfield’s economy.
I enjoyed connecting with representatives from Phoenix Manufacturing, Enfield town officials, State Representative Carol Hall, State Representative John Santanella, and others who are working to strengthen our local economy.
Keeping Enfield a great place to live, work, and do business requires collaboration, and I appreciate everyone who continues to invest in our community.
It was great having Emily and Nicole Birdsey join me on Senator Kissel & Friends on September 21st!
We highlighted their work with Girl Scout Troop 10774 and celebrated Emily’s tremendous achievement of earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can earn.
Congratulations to Emily on this outstanding accomplishment, and thank you to both Emily and Nicole for sharing your experiences and representing Troop 10774. It was a pleasure having you both on the show!

It was great to be in Windsor Locks to celebrate the rebuilding of a gazebo that has a special history in our community.
More than 20 years ago, Brandon, an Eagle Scout, built the original gazebo as part of his service to the community. Today, the Windsor Locks Lions Club has helped bring it back to life by rebuilding it for the next generation to enjoy.
Thank you to the Windsor Locks Lions Club for continuing to invest in our community and preserving a project with such a great history. It was wonderful to see Brandon back there and be part of this full-circle moment.
