On October 24th, State Representative Dave Yaccarino, of North Haven, was named by the Connecticut Alliance of YMCAs as a 2024 Legislative Champion.
Rep. Yaccarino was selected for the honor, citing his work to benefit children and families, especially in his vocal support for House Bill 5002, which was signed into law as Public Act 24-91. The bill establishes the Early Childhood Care and Education Fund and supplements wages with a grant program to enhance childcare options for families.
“It is truly an honor to be recognized by the YMCA. Supporting children and families in North Haven and across Connecticut continues to be one of my chief priorities as a state representative. With costs of childcare and family building rising in our state, residents and families are looking for more options that are safe, affordable, and high quality,” Rep. Yaccarino said.
Rep. Dave Yaccarino represents all of North Haven in the General Assembly.
