@tedcruz
, thanks for your warm comments about New Haven!
It’s not Cancún, but it's lovely, safe & lots of good jobs too! In fact, we were named one of the Top 52 Places to Go in the world in 2023 by the
@nytimes
- you know, the paper from that city nearby CT.
Stay classy, Ted!
The gov of Connecticut—a commuter suburb of NYC that features lovely & safe towns like New Haven—found Houston not up to his aesthetic standard.
Must be hard to see so many good jobs for blue-collar workers.
Stay classy, Ned.
And congrats on the win!
Congrats,

you can enjoy the world’s best pizza AND…

… read banned books, 📚
… fight climate change. 🌎
It’s the best of both worlds! Give it a try!

Great coal-fired pizza — check out .
In Florida we will always support the right of pizza makers to ply their craft using coal-fired ovens.

Over the next 6 years, Yale will contribute more to the city of New Haven than it contributed over the past 20 years. This historic agreement is a game changer for our city.

Yale recently announced that it posted a $203 million profit this year. In these very challenging times when the New Haven is struggling financially, it is Yale University’s moral responsibility to do more.
In times of crisis we show our true colors, and it’s time we all worked together. Thank you to the

for opening your doors and extending your dormitories to our first responders to help keep them and their families safe.

Thank you so much to Governor Lamont and Senator Blumenthal for joining me today on the New Haven Green to highlight the importance of testing. We are asymptomatic testing until 4PM today so please get tested! Call 203-946-4949 for more information.

New Haven has the best pizza in the country— Ask anyone from Connecticut and they will tell you Connecticut pizza, or "Apizza", is hands down the best pizza in America.
I am proud to formally declare in the Congressional Record that Connecticut is the Pizza State.
I will not apologize. We live in one of the most segregated states in the nation. There is a history of explicit racism in all towns in our state – Greenwich and New Haven included. Today structural racism persists throughout our state. (1/3)
A special thanks to FEMA: vaccinating 700 residents this past Thursday and 721 yesterday with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at their clinic on the Green.

Thank you, New Haven! It’s been an honor to serve as your mayor over these past four years during such a momentous time in the history of our city, and I’m humbled and grateful for your continued trust in me to serve another term. 1/2
This week it was exciting to celebrate the opening of the new "peanut" roundabout at Chapel St and Yale Ave in Westville! 1/

If wealthy communities are going to continue using exclusionary zoning to prevent Black families from moving in – let’s at least charge them for it.

Due to anticipated flooding, the city of New Haven is recommending evacuation of the following areas:
🔴East Shore residents south of Myron Street.
🔴Fair Haven Residents on Haven Street and John Murphy Drive.
🔴City Point Residents on South Water Street.
I understand you want to go outside as the weather is getting nicer. So we’ve made some changes and are closing a couple streets near East Rock Park in an effort to provide a safe place for people to walk, bike, or run at a safe social distance.
Speaking at a rally with many from Yale University and the New Haven community in outrage about Russia’s invasion and in support for Ukraine. This morning we were at St Michael’s church meeting with members of New Haven’s Ukrainian community. We stand with you.
Police/Fire only have 240 total N95 masks. We will need thousands of these over the next several months. If you have any, will you drop them off at your local

We all play a role in teaching our loved ones about racism and how to make choices to address it. This is our moment—it starts with everyone, no matter their ethnic background, to have these tough conversations about racism and to hold each other accountable.

The New Haven Public Schools are not moving to all remote learning. Any reporting to the contrary is false. I’ll reiterated what I said at a press conference yesterday – keeping kids in classrooms is a top priority.

The Boys and Girls Club of New Haven is helping strengthen their community by providing support and care for the children within it. So today, I stopped by to say hello and discuss how the American Rescue Plan helps children—especially those living in poverty.
I’m glad the New Haven Board of Education has taken proactive steps to change the name of Columbus Academy. I am a parent at this school, and I am proud we can address history in a respectful way.

I met my doppelgänger! This handsome gentleman said people come up to him regularly and ask if he’s the mayor.
There must be a need for a mayoral stunt double… 🤔.

Did you see this investigative report into the challenges Yale and the hospital place on our taxpayers? New Haveners continue to carry the burden of Yale and the hospital as they sit on nearly $8B of untaxable property.
Our Moderna COVID-19 vaccines just arrived! The Health Department will commence their first clinic next Monday for first responders and health care workers.

Throughout our history we’ve put an overemphasis on addressing societal problems with law enforcement. Too often police are called to address problems stemming from gaps in social services. It doesn’t have to be this way.
It was my absolute honor today to be sworn in as your 51st Mayor. Take a moment to celebrate this next chapter in the Elm City’s history. Thank you to the Inaugural Committee and all the volunteers for putting this event together. Now the real work begins.
