Windsor residents… polls close soon!! Windsor has $4 million in state and federal funding to make Broad Street safer. Zero local tax dollars. Working families deserve both safety and fiscal responsibility. This project delivers both. Vote Yes today, May 12!! #windsor #safestreets

History made. 🔥 Jillian Gilchrest just became the first candidate ever in Connecticut to force a primary against an incumbent. Let that sink in. First. Ever. That’s what courage looks like. That’s what happens when you refuse to wait for permission to fight for accountability. But our job is not done. Not until Jillian is on the ballot in November. Not until she’s in the House in January. Primary is August 11. Mark it. Make a plan. Show up. Vote Jillian Gilchrest. Let’s finish what we started. 🗳️ #JillianGilchrest #CT01 #PrimaryOnAugust11 #MakeHistoryAgain #CitizensImpeachment

We did it! I’m officially on the ballot for the Democratic Primary for U.S. Congress!! Thank you to the many volunteers, delegates, and supporters for getting us to this point. This is the first time in our state’s history that an incumbent Congressperson will face a primary! Next stop, August 11th!! #powertothepolls #VoteRowB #peoplepower #congressneedsasocialworker

Tonight’s the 1st Congressional district convention. 419 delegates get to decide who makes it on the ballot for the Democratic Primary. I believe our government can be different & our party can be different… and that starts with us. #congress #bethechange #peoplepower #congressneedsasocialworker

At the Congressional Convention, I will have the honor of seconding the nomination of someone who represents the very best of public service: Jillian Gilchrest. Before she was a legislator or a candidate, Jillian was a social worker — listening to families in crisis, advocating for people who felt unseen, and fighting for working people long before it was politically convenient. That spirit has never changed. At a moment when so many are losing faith in government, Jillian reminds us what leadership can look like when it is grounded in compassion, courage, and action. I’m proud to stand with her. Proud to support her. And proud to second her nomination for Congress. 💚💙 #connecticut #momsinpolitics #womenwholead
