Congratulations to Chief Tom Martin on his official swearing-in as Fire Chief and Fire Marshal of the Stonington Borough Fire Department.
It was a pleasure to join firefighters, local officials, family, and friends last night as Chief Martin was welcomed into his new role. I was honored to present him with a legislative citation recognizing this important milestone.
Wishing Chief Martin all the best as he begins his service to the Stonington Borough community.

Connecticut’s small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and I want to hear directly from you.
Join me for Coffee, Commerce, & Conversation on Thursday, July 16, at 8:00 a.m. at the Olde Mistick Village Meeting House.
This is an opportunity for local business owners and entrepreneurs to share what’s working, what’s challenging, and how the state can better support our business community. Whether you’re just getting started or have been serving our region for years, I’d love to hear your perspective.
I hope you’ll stop by for a cup of coffee and a conversation. ☕️
