This week, I had a great conversation with Sara Hatch, a constituent and a dental hygienist student from Tunxis Community College. Our conversation focused on the work that dental hygienists do and workforce development.
I also had the honor of presenting a state citation with State Rep. Kurt Vail to Maureen Eaton for 45 years of continuous service as a tax collector. Wow! Maureen is a wonderful person and a cornerstone of town government in Union.
Recognizing National Autism Awareness Month is about our daily commitment to support, inclusion, and advocacy.
As a State Senator, a medical doctor, and a member of the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Caucus, I am dedicated to ensuring that our legislative efforts reflect the needs of those with autism and intellectual disabilities. There is a lot we have accomplished, but there is always more to be done to support these individuals and their families.
Let’s use this month to celebrate our progress and continue our efforts to build a more supportive community for everyone.
