Earlier this month I joined the Connecticut Lodging Association, hotel industry leaders, law enforcement, and community partners in Hartford for a Human Trafficking Prevention Roundtable.
January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and this discussion focused on how Connecticut can strengthen prevention efforts through collaboration, hotel security protocols, and strong partnerships between the private sector and law enforcement.
As the legislative session begins, I look forward to reviewing and discussing any bills proposed that aim to strengthen human trafficking prevention efforts and improve public safety across our state. These conversations are an important part of shaping effective policy.

Yesterday morning, I was pleased to attend and speak at the 2026 Regional Legislative Breakfast at Southern Connecticut State University—an event hosted by the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce that I am proud to attend each year. These conversations are important as we work to grow businesses, support entrepreneurs, and strengthen our regional economy.
We discussed the challenges and opportunities facing our region, including the current job market, workforce development, and ways to help small businesses grow and succeed. I continue to advocate for investing in our talent pipeline, strengthening our workforce, and making research and development a top priority for Connecticut.
I also appreciated hearing directly from community leaders and constituents about their priorities for the year ahead.
