As we face an administration intent on dismantling public education in Washington, the Connecticut delegation will continue to work together to defend students and teachers from these attacks.

As we recognize International Overdose Awareness Day, we stand together to remember those who lost their lives to addiction and recommit to investing in prevention and treatment services.

Every community across our state and the nation has been touched by the opioid epidemic.

Hundreds of thousands of kids in Connecticut rely on federal support from the Department of Education to help them succeed in the classroom, and this announcement is a significant investment in their futures.

Yeah, I’m disappointed, no question about it, but far from disheartened.

As important as our democracy is, this is a political election.

Now’s the time for all of us to come together. … In our nation today, and with this president, this fight goes on.

The process is all about the people, and tonight, the people have spoken.

I’m proud to stand with labor because I know what side of the street I grew up on,’ Larson told an audience of cheering union activists here on a recent Saturday. “God bless the labor movement.

It’s an honor to join my colleagues, along with Governor Lamont and Commissioner Hurlburt, to announce an agreement that takes a consequential step closer to ensuring our state’s growers are made whole for the losses they incurred.

We were so relieved to get the call we’d been hoping for from Seyo Cecunjanin last night, letting us know he was back home in West Hartford.

I urge all my colleagues to support this amendment.

I recently introduced a bill that will develop a strategic plan to create a national technological infrastructure to connect public schools to the information superhighway.

The amendment is important because integrating technology into the classrooms is not just about wiring schools to the Internet.

To help our children maintain their competitive advantage in the Information Age, we must give our teachers the tools they need to integrate technology in the classroom.

It is vitally important, as we approach the 21st century, that in order to remain competitive in the global economy, we adapt and, indeed, stay ahead of the revolutionary technological advances that are changing our lives on a daily basis.

It is expected that there will be no cost to the federal government for this book.

I would like to urge the rest of my colleagues to support this bi-partisan effort in order to ensure that we do our best to preserve the history of this great body in which we serve.

I sincerely appreciate their endorsement and encouragement.

My bill, the History of the House Awareness and Preservation Act, would authorize the Library of Congress to commission eminent historians to assemble a written history of the House.

We honor their spirit and the legacy they have provided.

As a Member of Congress I say with force and I say with compassion: We remember.
