Connecticut Future Caucus Co-Chairs
“Building relationships across the aisle is vital in order to be a more effective legislator in Hartford. I am pleased that as chair of the Aging Committee and a member of the Connecticut Future Caucus, we were able to leverage those relationships to secure strong bipartisan support for the measures we brought to the House floor impacting state seniors. I am grateful to MAP for their continued support and work connecting and uplifting young legislators like me.”
