Honored to be a speaker at the Women's Business Development Council (WBDC)’s 2026 Women-Owned Business Day!
The numbers speak for themselves. Since 2020, WBDC has awarded 42 grants totaling $449,605 to 38 businesses right here in the 30th District, serving 290 clients across our communities.
Connecticut’s women entrepreneurs create jobs and invest in their communities every single day. As Senate Minority Leader, I am committed to fighting for policies that help small businesses thrive, cut through red tape, and keep Connecticut competitive. Women-owned businesses are a critical part of that.
Thank you to the WBDC for bringing legislators and entrepreneurs together today!
Wishing everyone in the 30th District and across Connecticut a joyful and blessed Easter. May this season of renewal bring hope, peace, and time well spent with the people who matter most. From my family to yours, Happy Easter!
