The picture speaks for itself. #AbolishICE

Packed weekend! From Manchester fireworks to a Sunday afternoon pig roast, great conversations — and great food! — all across the district.

Always a great time at Dunkin’ Park!

Big day in Wethersfield yesterday. Door-knocking with Mayor Ken Lesser, a visit to the Wethersfield Farmers Market, and a packed meet & greet with great conversation at the Webb Deane Stevens Museum. Then hit the Windsor 250 celebration to close out the night. The energy out here is strong! 🔥

Dudleytown trivia night! Every Tuesday. Love this spot.

Electricity prices are through the roof. And our climate is in crisis. And the answer to both is the same: a massive commitment to renewable energy, of every kind. And we can’t be tentative and cautious about it. We need to go big, fast.

Stopped back in Windsor Locks for the Stevie Experience — a tribute band for the great Stevie Nicks. Have to say… they crushed it. Not the usual crowd because of the weather, but a lot of fun.

2.2 billion. That’s what Trump’s made off the presidency in 17 months. 3.8 billion. That’s what a million Americans lost buying his crypto coin. 636 million of it landed straight in his pocket. We need a Congress that stands up to corruption and scams.

The Democratic Party has to be bolder. We can’t be about half measures and tentative moves. When things aren’t working, they need to be fixed — not patched.

We need to abolish ICE. We need citizenship for Dreamers. We need broader pathways for legal immigration. And we need immigration enforcement that’s sane and humane. We know what we need. But if we’re going to get any of it, we need a Democratic Party that’s bringing a whole new energy to this fight

I will be proud to take up the fight to protect Social Security. And if we’re gonna win it, we need to try some new approaches.

We need universal healthcare. We should have had a public option 16 years ago. And one of the reasons we don’t is that there’s too much corporate PAC money flooding the system. That’s why I won’t take a dime of corporate PAC money— now or in the future.

Tune in to NBC tonight at 7PM!

Happy 250th, America!

We’re building strong momentum and building more every day. Democrats know we need to bring a whole new energy to this fight, and our race continues to get national attention. Want to be part of the movement? We need volunteers! Check out my page to find out how.

Last but certainly not least… closed out an awesome Pride Month with West Hartford Pride this weekend. Love living in a state and in communities that celebrate freedom and take seriously what it means to protect the right to pursue happiness — no matter who you love or how you identify. Happy Pride‍!

I’m honored to stand with the Connecticut Hispanic Democratic Caucus today and every day. Over the next 50 days, CHDC will be a critical part of our strong and growing team. Let's keep the momentum going!

So proud and grateful to have the support of AFSCME Local 1716. 1716 represents sanitation workers, park maintainers, mechanics, and so many more folks who are some of the hardest-working public servants around. This endorsement means a lot; AFSCME Local 1716 worked directly with me for eight years.

Some great energy and GREAT signs out there on the doors last night. Here’s a few. Door knocking is one of my favorite parts of campaigning & there’s no better way to end the day. Fired up.

The best job I’ll ever have is being a dad to three incredible kids. And I’m lucky to have an amazing dad who showed me how to do it. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.

Yesterday, we announced the support of a large & strong group of West Hartford elected leaders. Deeply grateful for their support.

Deeply proud to have the endorsements of seven West Hartford elected officials today — Deputy Mayor Deb Polun, town councilors Tiffani McGinnis, Barry Walters, and Ben Wenograd, Board of Education Chair Shannon Marimón, and BOE members Jason Gagnon and Jon Weiner.

After Glastonbury Pride & before a meet and greet yesterday afternoon, I cooled off by stopping at Woody’s Coffee and Ice Cream Shop in Cromwell! Andrew and Ken told me all about how they came into small business ownership. The hard work they put into this place for the community has been amazing!🍦☕

With AI accelerating & disrupting the economy in huge ways, there’s a LOT we have to do. But one of the most obvious is making a serious new commitment to job training & workforce development. So what does the GOP do? Slash all of that. 🤯

Great new friends and old friends, so many great community organizations, and delicious big lemonade at Celebrate West Hartford this weekend. Awesome to see such a strong community come together. #westhartford

The Indian-American community has strengthened our region in so many ways, and BAPS Charity Walk in Rocky Hill brought hundreds of people together to celebrate America 250 and support Rocky Hill and Newington first responders. Proud to join and grateful to be included yesterday.

Want something to inspire you? Check out Berlin Upbeat— a student and volunteer run organization focused on community involvement and mentorship. Tonight I stopped by their picnic at the fairgrounds. It was full of great energy and great people. #congress #connecticut #ct #ct01

Pete Buttigieg is one of the most effective leaders and communicators we’ve got. Proud & grateful to have his support. He sees what a lot of us see: the Democratic Party has got to bring some new energy to this fight. #congress #connecticut #ct #ct01

As a leader, a policymaker, and a communicator, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social is one of the most effective Democrats in the country, & I’m proud to have his support in this race. Wherever he serves, he gets stuff done, he builds coalitions, & he inspires people to come together to solve hard problems.

While he screws up the US economy, Trump is pledging US economic might to support a corrupt, Putin-loving autocrat, Viktor Orban. Everything Orban does is pro-Russia and against our interests. But when Trump sees Orban, he sees himself — and there’s nothing Trump loves more seeing himself.

This is insane. He cannot be President of the United States. Impeach, 25th, the tools are there - but he has to be removed.

Just launched our first ad! Trump is out of control, costs are out of control, and we need a Democratic Party that’s bringing some new energy to this fight. We can’t fix things by doing the same thing.

Before we celebrate too much, Pam Bondi is not being fired because she didn't release the Epstein files. She's not being fired because she dropped thousands of investigations into terrorism, drug trafficking, fraud. She's being fired because she didn't do enough to target Trump's political enemies.

ICE agents arent even trained to be ICE agents. Now they’re replacing TSA in airports. Trump treats them like his personal all-purpose paramilitary, and all they’ve done is add more chaos and intimidation to the existing chaos at airports. Fund TSA. Abolish ICE.

The Greater Hartford St. Patrick’s Day Parade is always one of the best days of the year. Thanks to everyone who works to make it happen. Awesome energy & a sea of green in downtown today!

Firing Kristi Noem is not enough.

Kristi Noem has disgraced her office, repeatedly lying to the American people and leading a lawless agency that has disregarded our Constitution, violated basic rights, surveilled American citizens, and executed peaceful protestors. But swapping out the face of DHS doesn't...

Last fall, Democratic teams flipped so many towns from red to blue. One of the most impressive wins was East Granby, where Jason Hayes and Amanda Thompson led the Democratic ticket to a huge sweep. Today, Jason and Amanda endorsed my campaign, and I’m so grateful for their support.

Donald Trump wants to nationalize our elections. Don't let anyone tell you this is a joke. He knows they're heading for an electoral wipeout, and he’ll do anything to stay in power. We need to take this very, very seriously.

I went on NewsMax today to talk about ICE’s trampling on our rights and executing American citizens. And to say directly to the most faithful of the MAGA faithful: believe your own eyes, not their lies. I’m well aware that NewsMax exists to amplify some of the worst stuff in our politics...

I made sure Newsmax knew how we got here. Donald Trump and Kristi Noem unleashed an untrained, unaccountable, reckless paramilitary that has executed American citizens on the streets of Minneapolis.

VoteVets has helped elect some of Congress’s strongest and most effective fighters. I’m proud to have VoteVets’ support...

Story about the need for generational change in the First Congressional district: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u... Proud of @lukebronin.bsky.social (no relation... anymore!) for challenging the status quo & stepping up to represent his community.

Big news: I am honored to earn the endorsement of four DTC chairs in our district. Martha, Tejal, Adam, and Julie have devoted themselves to the vital work of local democracy in Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Windsor, and Berlin. Read why they think it's time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

The Trump administration is telling on itself… this time threatening Sen. Mark Kelly with court martial for reminding members of the military not to break the law. This will fall apart just like the bogus indictments against Comey & Letitia James did today. But that doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous.

The newest nonsensical part of the Trump agenda - ending programs where you can renew your passport at your library. This is just stupid. Renewing your passport at the library has been easy and helps raise money for our local libraries.

Trump's finally fighting inflation... in Argentina... with $40 billion dollars of US money to shore up the Argentine Peso. This, while his tariffs send your groceries skyrocketing and his vendetta against the ACA will send health care premiums through the roof.

A senior DOJ official just said that the Trump Admin pressured him to lie about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's affiliation with MS-13 so they could disappear him to a prison in El Salvador. That's what dictators (kings) do, and if you think it would stop here, you haven't read enough history.

Hartford, CT - 12,000 strong. No Kings! 🇺🇸 Let's see your signs and photos from today!
