So grateful for people like Ann and Keith who stopped to talk to me during my walk. They help run Amity Allies, which works to fight discrimination in the local schools. #WalkCT https://t.co/cBxuqCnyy2 — PolitiTweet.org

The amazing people I meet… Salaam (left) owns a gas station in Naugatuck. His brother Samir (right) just arrived from Yemen after working as a guard at the U.S. embassy. Grateful Yemeni-Americans, they send every $ they can back to their family in war torn Sana’a. #WalkCT https://t.co/VoybAvpRUk — PolitiTweet.org

Kaylee and Dolly are people I would probably never talk to if I didn’t do this walk. But they raise real issues that will inform the way I think about, and vote on, housing policy and trade policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Dolly owns a salon and has noticed recently that the care products she imports from China have been causing infections for her clients. So she has switched to American made products. She wonders why there isn’t more scrutiny of Chinese imports. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Kaylee is in subsidized housing and pays 25% of her income in rent. But she’s getting married, and the housing authority is upping her rent bc of the double income. But the net result is both she and her husband will pay a greater % of income in rent. A true “marriage penalty”. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Want to tell you two stories of people I met in Naugatuck - both examples of how this walk impacts the way I think about policy. Meet Kaylee, expecting mom, and Dolly, owner of Personal Pampering Salon. https://t.co/ORARwWWqmB — PolitiTweet.org

One of my priorities in Congress is to build more healthy fun summer programming for kids. As a parent I know how much kids need a break and how hard it is to find affordable care. Walked by the Naugatuck YMCA summer camp today and stopped in to say thanks. #WalkCT https://t.co/RmGvcQ1rdH — PolitiTweet.org

Connecticut is kind of the perfect state for this. About 100 miles east to west, 70 miles or so north to south. A long but not impossible walk. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine for a second what Republicans’ reaction would be if this was Biden. Nuclear grade meltdown. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

These folks at the Speak Easy Cafe were nice enough to invite me to sit with them and crash their happy hour. One women told me about how she has trouble making mortgage payments since she lost her job during the pandemic. I told her about the MyHomeCT program. #WalkCT https://t.co/EkbdNHTtgM — PolitiTweet.org

If anyone in Waterbury is interested is some cold, tasty lemonade, Tori and Teri are are offering a good deal on Highland Avenue right now. #WalkCT https://t.co/rXM0W0Le6o — PolitiTweet.org

Late lunch in Waterbury at (one of) the best hot dog joints in Connecticut. #WalkCT https://t.co/fPKfp1KxQP — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Thanks to HHS Secretary @SecBecerra for coming to Waterbury to visit Children and Family Aid. We talked about how the $12B in mental health funding in the gun safety bill will help kids in Waterbury. And then @SecBecerra challenged me to take an over-the-shot in the gym. And 💥 https://t.co/vGLTbPJXHj — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

This morning’s hot, sweaty 15 mile walk from Litchfield gets me to Waterbury JUST in time to join HHS Secretary @SecBecerra, in town for a roundtable w me on our gun violence/mental health bill. No time to shower or change. So I made one last important stop on my way into town. https://t.co/nWuU6JOobk — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Met so many interesting people in Watertown. #WalkCT Talked to: - a pharmacist from Romania about natural medicine; - a high school English teacher about politics in the classroom; - a restaurant owner about COVID relief programs; - a mom about school based mental health. https://t.co/Bd9mwZulQq — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Stephanie is a nutritionist. Her husband is an accomplished chef. Together they started Simply Bowls in downtown Watertown. Delicious and healthy! #WalkCT https://t.co/upn2xhi40b — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Guy just hopped off his lawnmower very angry about Ukraine. Says it’s “none of our business” and that our focus should be here (his idea was more domestic oil drilling). Didn’t like the gun safety bill either. Just so you know I don’t meet only supporters out here! #WalkCT — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

I know the pic is from far away but that’s my friend @EvaBerZim walking with me this morning in Morris. She is running for State Senate in the 30th district and is going to bring some fantastic new energy to Hartford. Thanks for keeping me company, Eva! #WalkCT https://t.co/u6L8F2nwPd — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Marsha stopped to say hello as I walked through Morris. She works at Bantam Tileworks - a great local artisan shop run by my friends Travis and Darin. We talked about the exciting growing cluster of design businesses in Litchfield County. https://t.co/tALPCxHXan — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT

Hoping it’s a little less buggy in Watertown than it was walking through Morris this morning. #WalkCT https://t.co/bQ0AqTXHA5 — PolitiTweet.org

Day 3 of my annual Walk Across Connecticut starts at 7:30am on the Litchfield/Morris town line. Rocking my Bridgeport Central t-shirt today! https://t.co/Er8VKS5OeQ — PolitiTweet.org
