Please share and spread the word. See you May 2!

Dems & Donuts is this Saturday, April 11 from 10 am to 12 pm at 45 Water Street!
We're hosting a casual open house and we'd love to see you there. Whether you're a newly registered Democrat or a longtime Torrington Dem, grab a donut, catch up with fellow Torrington Democrats, and bring a friend or two!

Stop by to:
- Get to know your DTC members
- Hear about what we've been working on
- Learn how to get involved, whether that's joining the committee, volunteering, or just staying more connected
- Share your thoughts on what matters most to our community

No agenda, no pressure. Just good conversation and great donuts (and there will be coffee too!!!)

We're also collecting non-perishable food donations for the Community Kitchen of Torrington. Feel free to bring an item or two if you're able!

Torrington kids and families deserve a safe community. Help us keep it that way.

This Wednesday, March 11, the Connecticut Public Health Committee will hold a hearing on two bills, HB 5044 and SB 450, that would keep vaccine policy in the hands of Connecticut's Commissioner of Public Health.

Why support these bills now? Because RFK Jr. has packed the federal advisory committee that makes CDC vaccine recommendations with vaccine skeptics. Connecticut needs the authority to follow the science.

State Sen. Stephen Harding (R-30) and Rep. Joe Canino (R-65) oppose this legislation. Torrington families deserve better, and your voices should be heard.

You can testify in person at Room 1D of the Legislative Office Building, on Zoom, or by submitting written testimony online. The deadline to register is Tuesday, March 10 at 3 pm.

Are you ready for a fight? I am.

Over the next several days and weeks, I’ll be sharing more about my platform and priorities. But first, I wanted you to hear it directly from me: I’m running for State Senate.

Our community deserves representation in Hartford that will stand up to Trump and work every day to make life materially better for the people of the 30th District. We deserve honesty. We deserve authenticity. And most importantly, we deserve a Senator who will bring people together to solve real problems, not one who thrives on dividing us.

If you believe in that vision, please click the link above and add your name to join this fight. And if you’re able, please pitch in a few dollars to help power our campaign. Together, we can build the kind of leadership our district truly deserves.

Have a great Friday, friends.
