Danbury State Senator Julie Kushner has been designated Senate Chair of the Labor Committee in the General Assembly for a second two-year term.  She will also be a Vice Chair position on the Public Health Committee.  Senate President Martin Looney says Kushner's work in her first term spoke for itself, most prominently her lead roles in championing Paid Family and Medical Leave and an increased minimum wage.  Kushner says COVID-19 has shown just how vital public health is for communities and is looking forward to working on the Public Health Committee.
