Oct 29, 2021 Stephen Krauchick

The Community Fund of Darien’s Thriving Youth Task Force and Fairfield Public Schools in partnership with Fairfield CARES, received Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program grants. Each will be awarded $625,000 over five years, totaling $1.25 million in funding to address local youth substance use. “The COVID-19 pandemic has put a real strain on our kids,” said Congressman Jim Himes. “It’s sadly not surprising that the National Institute of Health found an increase in adolescents using nicotine products and misusing prescription drugs.

Oct 29, 2021 Stephen Krauchick

U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) applauded the United States Senate’s confirmation of Judge Omar Williams, President Biden’s nominee to fill a vacancy on the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. Williams was confirmed in a bipartisan 52-46 vote. “Omar Williams is an expert and accomplished litigator and advocate. With a history of public service as a judge on the Hartford Superior Court and an assistant public defender, Williams will undoubtedly provide an underrepresented and much-needed perspective to our federal judiciary,” said Blumenthal. “I’ve been proud to champion his nomination as a member of the Judiciary Committee with Senator Murphy. Today’s bipartisan vote underscores the measured, insightful jurist that Williams is and will continue to be.”       “Judge…
