“I am deeply relieved that Officers Diaz and Escobar -- Hartford and Rocky Hill officers who were shot in Newington during an incident last week -- have returned home safely. This was an incredibly dangerous and chaotic situation for the officers involved, and my thoughts remain with them, their families, and all of the law enforcement personnel who responded.” (Candidate statement)
