Today is National Puppy Mill Awareness Day.
For years, I’ve been working alongside animal welfare advocates to end the puppy mill-to-pet store pipeline in Connecticut. We haven’t gotten it across the finish line yet, but this past year we built stronger support in the legislature and brought more lawmakers into the fight.
This is about protecting animals, but it’s also about protecting consumers and making sure families know where the animals they bring into their homes are coming from.
I’m proud to keep standing with advocates who have refused to give up and neither will I.
We’ll keep pushing until we get it done.

I'm proud to announce that I have been endorsed by the Sierra Club of Connecticut. As a public servant, I am dedicated to preserving open space in our state, protecting the environment from harm and ensuring the continued protection of endangered species and all of our states rich diversity of wild life.
I am honored to accept this endorsement.

You don’t get to have it both ways.
Debbie Rizzo, the Republican candidate for State Representative in the 2nd District representing Bethel and Danbury, rightly condemned religious hatred when a Catholic priest was targeted in our community.
Then she used the tragedy of 9/11 to stoke fear and suspicion of our Muslim neighbors.
Hate doesn’t become acceptable when the faith changes.
You can’t preach unity when it fits your politics and division when it doesn’t.
That’s not leadership. That’s Divisive Debbie.
Bethel deserves better.
