Glad to join you today, Comptroller!

CT Health Horizons is truly a best practice and it was great to see some of the early data proving its success.

We're excited to see its future impact and look forward to the next meeting!

CT and the US are experiencing a major health care workforce shortage.

My office and @CT_OWS joined college administrators from across the state at @QuinnipiacU Medical School to talk about CT’s solution to the problem: the Health Horizon Program.

The future of manufacturing in Connecticut is so bright

Our country is counting on the work 160,000 CT residents do here each day and we should be damn proud of that #MakeItHere

Happy Labor Day! Last friday, we honored the next generation of skilled trade professionals with certification through the CareerConnectCT program. Everyone deserves a good paying job and I want to make sure that our residents are getting the skills they need to land these jobs.
