Let’s build the future we deserve.

In case you missed it, I released my second ad of the campaign. Watch it and then sign up to volunteer: shorturl.at/uZBLg.
First, fiscal responsibility.
Second, smart investments.
Third, working together: results, NOT politics.
We have a successful plan for our financial future.
Check out "The Plan" today.

This is how ICE treated my friend Brad Lander, the Comptroller of New York City and candidate for Mayor. In full view of cameras. Imagine what they are doing to people with no power, no voice, no lawyer, and no one paying attention. ICE is out of control. This is un-American.
I’ve worked with Brad many times. He’s principled and thoughtful. Seeing him violently arrested on fraudulent charges should alarm every American. This is a national emergency. Violence and intimidation happen when the powerful no longer fear accountability.
Great to welcome @Tim_Walz to CT this weekend with @ChrisMurphyCT! While this election may come down to the results in a handful of states, the campaign is truly about all of us, offering a vision for the future of this country that includes opportunity and freedom for everyone.

Look who just arrived in Connecticut! (@ErickRussellCT and I served as the greeting party)
The @NorwalkDems are turning enthusiasm into action for this November’s election. Now’s the time to get involved, volunteer, and help get others engaged. The effort will be worth it.
This election is about the future. @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz share a vision for a future that includes everyone, without exception. I was proud to stand in support of their ticket today with a very enthusiastic group of @CTDems.
It’s up to us — all of us.

Thank you, @KamalaHarris, for the trust that you've placed in me.
And maybe more so, thank you for bringing back the joy.
I couldn't be prouder to be on this ticket—and to help make you the next President of the United States.
This is an unprecedented opportunity to come together to shape a future for this country that includes everyone. @KamalaHarris is the person to lead to us there.
She has the courage, qualifications, vision, and values we need in this moment to move the nation forward.
How are we measuring qualifications for our elected leaders? Chairman Proto's comments about Vice President Harris are despicable and we should expect leaders in Connecticut to speak with more respect and decency.
The head of the Connecticut Republican Party Ben Proto said that Kamala Harris isn’t qualified to be president — or vice president — of the United States on Connecticut Public’s The Wheelhouse.

The underlying sentiment, on full display at this week’s Republican Convention, that no person of color is independently worthy of high-ranking jobs, is just racism. I’m so discouraged and disheartened that this lazy and plain-spoken bigotry is tolerated within our politics.

Had a REALLY nice time emceeing the @CHET529 Dream Big awards ceremony at the @GoYardGoats stadium. 3000 kids entered the contest with essays and artwork about how to make the 🌎 a better place. The 30+ winners are awesome kids. Great to work with @ErickRussellCT!

The Baby Bonds program gives our young people startup capital for their lives and ultimately will help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. These funds aren't just an investment, they're a symbol of hope and a promise that everyone can make it right here in Connecticut.
Today, @GovNedLamont and I welcomed 7,810 of CT’s newest residents. In the 6 mo since CT Baby Bonds launched, that is how many eligible children have been born. These kids will grow to find a future full of possibilities thanks to the investments we’re making on their behalf.
