Congratulations to the 66 sailors who graduated from U.S. Navy Sub School at the Groton Sub Base today. This year’s class includes 9 enlisted sailors from the Australian Navy – a historic step for AUKUS and eastern CT’s role in making it a success.

Manufacturers across the entire state are seeing the benefits of the submarine boon. @RosaDeLauro and I received a spirited brief from Prime Technology President Luis Lluberes on business operations and the slew of work on deck through the Virginia and Columbia Class programs.

Great to visit Fairholm Farm in Woodstock and meet with owner Jon Hermonot & Fairvue Farm owner Paul Miller. The USDA recently fixed a 2018 milk pricing change that had been shortchanging CT dairy farmers. As Co-Chair of the Dairy Caucus, I led the push for this change.

84 years after Ida May Fuller received the first ever Social Security monthly benefit, check #00 -000-001, over 164,000 people in CT-02 now receive Social Security. In Stafford, I shared Ida's story and reiterated my commitment to protecting and strengthening Social Security.

Bipartisanship has always been my approach. In a closely divided Congress, I’m reaching across the aisle and working with Republicans and Democrats to continue delivering on what matters most to eastern Connecticut.

Congresswoman Jackson Lee came to Congress to work hard for justice, equality, and freedom, and for the past three decades, she did just that. Her exceptional tenure will long be remembered in Houston and on Capitol Hill.

At Windham Public Schools, American Rescue Plan funding is providing students year-round access to mental health care & counseling. I visited the school district’s summer program to hear how this resource keeps students' learning on track and gets them school-ready in September.

America’s leadership under President Biden has seen our Alliance with the United States strengthen. In March last year, the US, Australia and the United Kingdom announced the AUKUS pathway. Under the Biden Administration, we’ve seen this partnership make significant progress.

In 3+ years, @POTUS broke DC's gridlock to deliver real help for toxin exposed veterans, seniors' health care, and a renaissance of America's industrial base & infrastructure. His global leadership, creating AUKUS, has strengthened the world's democracies for decades to come.

Our regional airports host a ton of economic activity, and the Infrastructure Law we passed in 2021 is allowing them to make overdue upgrades. I visited the Windham Airport with the CT Airport Authority & the FAA to see improvement projects made possible by the IIJA.

Good jobs in submarine construction aren’t just in Groton. There are hundreds of suppliers across CT taking on increased work for the Navy. The new Hire Hartford initiative is designed to help our small business manufacturers hire skilled workers from the capital region.

I’m working to help local farmers stay in business & access new markets. This week, I held a roundtable at Long Table Farm with owner Baylee Drown, her fellow farmers, & @DepSecXoch to discuss USDA programs that have enabled farms to lower costs & adopt climate-smart practices.

Today & for years to come, there will be thousands of good jobs in CT's submarine industrial base. @RepJohnLarson & I joined Navy officials, Electric Boat, and sub suppliers to launch Hire Hartford, an initiative to connect more people in the capital region to shipbuilding jobs.

I welcomed the @USNavy to East Hartford with @RepJoeCourtney today to launch the "Hire Hartford" campaign, connecting workers in our region with good-paying jobs across the submarine industrial base. This year, @GDElectricBoat is set to hire 5,200 new workers in Connecticut!

I strongly support a substantive independent investigation of the catastrophic security breakdown at former President Trump’s rally. Americans must be safe in exercising their 1st Amendment rights to participate in the electoral process that is fundamental to a healthy democracy.
