Little League Opening Day is a cherished community tradition, bringing together youth, teamwork, family, and those unforgettable moments that make Little League so special. It was wonderful to join families, players, and volunteers from both Fairfield National and Fairfield Girls Softball Little League to celebrate the start of a new season.
Honored to share a few words recognizing the sportsmanship, dedication, and joy these programs inspire in our young athletes.
To every player: play hard, support one another, and savor every moment. And thank you to the coaches, parents, and volunteers who make it all possible.

Supporting Innovation in Local Agriculture
I had the pleasure of visiting Gilbertie’s Herb Garden to see firsthand how their recent Farm Transition Grant is being put to work. This highly competitive program, led by the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, awarded over $500,000 to farms across our state this year, a major investment in Connecticut agriculture.
It was great spending time with owner Sal Gilbertie and farmer Matt Oricchio, learning how their $24,999 grant is supporting the installation of a new computer system to manage greenhouse operations. This kind of smart technology helps improve efficiency, sustainability, and long term success for local farms.
Seeing this investment in action reinforces how important it is to support our agricultural community, strengthen local food systems, and ensure farms like Gilbertie’s continue to thrive for generations to come.

A pleasure hosting Fairfield Town Clerk Betsy Browne-Miller at the Capitol yesterday.
Her advocacy on behalf of town clerks across Connecticut highlights the critical role they play in protecting the integrity, transparency, and trust in our elections.
Deep appreciation to Betsy, and to all town clerks, for their dedicated public service.
