I'm proud to announce that today we approved a $1.4M state grant to renovate the Danbury War Memorial. It's a wonderful tribute to our veterans and serves as a destination for community events. These funds will ensure this building can serve the community for many years to come. https://t.co/gcymDI39SH — PolitiTweet.org

I'm glad the state can partner with New London on the effort to ensure Toby May Park remains a beautiful outdoor recreation area for children and residents to enjoy well into the future! — PolitiTweet.org

Built 108-years-ago, the East Haddam Swing Bridge was once hailed as an ornament to the "age of progressiveness." Today, it needs some TLC to remain in good repair. We'll make sure it regains form, representing a new age of progress as we shore up infrastructure across CT. https://t.co/kFubEtvAgQ — PolitiTweet.org

Connecticut's economy continues to get its mojo back with jobs gains and unemployment dropping for nearly a year straight. It's no coincidence this happened as we became a highly vaccinated state. Businesses thrive with certainty, both with their workforce and w/ the biz climate. https://t.co/lOQa5NIgHB — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

We’re expanding Covid testing capacity across the state day by day, working hand in hand w/ hospitals and pharmacies to accommodate the increased demand during the holidays and w/ this latest surge. This is one of our many tools to help prevent an even greater spread of Omicron. https://t.co/Iz8BBHAdgJ — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a lot of fake news about the Digital Health Card. First off, it is purely optional and voluntary. Contractually, they can’t give away or sell your information; it’s private. We were adamant it stayed that way. This is simply a free service you can use if you'd like. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Some of the most common and easily answered questions about getting your booster (aka being fully vaccinated) can be answered below. Please share this far and wide so everyone across CT knows the basics of being fully vaccinated. https://t.co/LW9o6LU2zl — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

We keep saying “get boosted.” Let’s stop thinking about it as a booster and start thinking about it as being fully vaccinated. This is far and away the best way to protect yourself from severe sickness that can land you in the hospital or the morgue. https://t.co/nIADc6qIxb — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

The Northeast is facing a surge. CT is seeing Delta come down from the north and Omicron come up from the south. If you're unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated, schedule an appointment ASAP at https://t.co/UlEhIlxacT. https://t.co/gszHcSPcEf — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Unfortunately, much of the world isn’t as vaccinated as the US, causing new variants, like Omicron, to pop up and spread like wildfire. Thankfully, Omicron appears to not be as virulent as Delta and more like a mild case of the flu for vaccinated people. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

#ICYMI, here's a🧵recapping today's pre-Christmas Covid-19 press conference. TL;DR — Be cautious this holiday season. Wear a mask in crowds and in uncertain situations. Being fully vaccinated (vaccine + booster) is the best way to prevent serious infections. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

As I said before, the Digital Health Card is a convenient and optional tool, one that is easy to access and have on your smartphone. 📲Once it's on the device, you're good to go in CT, NY, RI, MA and many other states! 2/2 https://t.co/9yXfnoItVD — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

🧵The CDC's paper vaccine cards are an odd size & don't fit many wallets. But you can now skip carrying it & put the info in a smartphone app. This optional tool is meant only for your convenience. It's easy to use, enough that Santa has one to show his Moderna vax + booster. 1/2 https://t.co/wz5SOl9CtQ — PolitiTweet.org

When families look at moving to CT, you had better believe they want to see great parks for their kids and other amenities to make them feel like they're part of a tight-knit community. Norwalk is already a great place to live and its only getting better. — PolitiTweet.org

There is no question about it — boosters are keeping people safe from severe Covid infections and out of the hospital. We have over 700 locations and pop-up clinics around the state where you can get yours. Find one nearby at https://t.co/UlEhIlxacT https://t.co/BhZ3zojwj2 — PolitiTweet.org

Annie and I had a blast virtually hosting last year's annual Holiday Open House at the Governor's Residence. While 2021's Open House will again be virtual, we have plenty of fun and holiday spirit to share with everyone! Stay tuned 🎄🎁🍪 — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see the CDC just now endorse a similar policy to what Connecticut has been doing for the last month with Screen & Stay! Students achieve the greatest outcomes when they have access to in-person learning, plain and simple. https://t.co/kDrAbTu1hw — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

It’s wonderful to see that more than 80% of our schools across CT are participating in Screen & Stay, an initiative that is minimizing interruptions in our kids' academic year by safely keeping them in school with their teachers and friends, where they belong. https://t.co/XkHsVbfKyI — PolitiTweet.org
