I am proud that for another year we’ve passed a balanced budget on time, and we did it in collaboration with the input of so many people in our state.

This budget delivers more education funding and municipal aid than ever before, and it does it in a responsible way that will keep Connecticut on stable financial ground in the coming years.

Natalie is a steady hand. Time and again, she has stepped into challenging situations, tackled tough issues head-on, and delivered results when the stakes were high.

We continue making long-term commitments to Connecticut’s future, including major support for early childhood and K-12 education, housing, public safety, environmental protection, and modernizing state government.

I strongly believe that providing every child with access to early childhood education opportunities will make Connecticut an even stronger, safer, and resilient state.

Every child living in Connecticut deserves access to a good education—including during the earliest years of their lives—and we must make these opportunities available to every child of every background, no matter where they live or the…

I am committed to ensuring that our laws and regulations continue to provide everyone with equal protection, and I vow to stand up to any efforts to turn back the clock on equality.

Connecticut has a legacy of leading the nation on critical issues facing the LGBTQ+ community and being one of the most welcoming states in the country, and I am proud to let everyone know that in this state we celebrate the rights of…

This herky-jerky back and forth is driving people crazy.

While this $3 million in emergency funding will not fill the entire gap left by the federal government, it represents our state’s commitment to supporting our neighbors during this crisis.

Affordable housing is the biggest key to affordability in our state and I think across the country

I think he is a big deal. I think he’s transformative.

I think the only way to really make it work is if you have buy-in from the local communities. And I think the vast majority of those communities want to do the right thing.

It looks like we are about to experience our first heat wave of the season, and when temperatures get this hot, people who are most vulnerable, especially those who are of a certain age or who have certain medical conditions, should take…

I’m not looking to pick fights and I’m going down there out of respect for the peaceful transition of power.

Well, the C.D.C. bobs and weaves a little bit. That can be confusing, but overall, I think it's the right thing.

I look at our nursing homes all the time and the number of nurses that are there, time for them to get a booster.

Well, broadly speaking, Jim, I'm trying to make it faster, easier for you to get vaccinated, to get tested, to do all the right things.

But in the meantime, you're right, we took matters into our own hands, we went out, we contracted and purchased three million rapid tests that are going to hit the ground over the next week, a big focus on our schools to earn everything to…

Look, I'm very thankful that President Biden is going to probably be making you know five million rapid tests available to the State of Connecticut, you know sometime in the next month or so.

I think we appreciate the partnership with the President and the Federal government. It wasn't always that way.

CDC speaks Latin I can`t figure out who`s eligible, who`s not eligible. If you smoked while you were in high school back then 1970s you`re eligible. I think if you haven`t been vaccinated, or in you know, more than six months, now`s the…

Chris, we got hit really hard very early along with New York and New Jersey. I think that this is a state where we look out for each other.

I think a lot of pride that we`re getting it right. That our schools are open and they don`t have to shut down for quarantine like what`s happening in other states.

I think people who are in Connecticut feel like these protocols are working and they`re willing to hang in there a little longer to stay safe.
