"Together, we can bridge divides and build a brighter future for all Connecticut families."
It was a pleasure to join Mystic Aquarium and Electric Boat to celebrate a partnership that’s creating real opportunities here in Connecticut.
This exhibit is more than just an experience. From marine science to engineering to submarine manufacturing, it shows young people what’s possible when learning becomes hands-on and accessible.
This is what real workforce development looks like: investing in our communities, inspiring the next generation, and strengthening Connecticut’s future.
Thank you to Mystic Aquarium and Electric Boat for leading the way and making an impact that will last for years to come. Congratulations to everyone involved!
During National Law Enforcement Week, we thank the men and women who serve and protect our communities every day.
As your State Senator, I remain committed to supporting public safety and ensuring our law enforcement officers have the resources and support they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.
Thank you for all you do for us!
