Today, State Senator Ceci Maher (D-Wilton), Senate Chair of the Committee On Children, issued the following statement in response to the announcement of Christina  Ghio to become the new Child Advocate for the state of Connecticut:

“The Child Advocate is one of Connecticut’s most important protectors of our youngest and most vulnerable, and the holder of the office must be dedicated and determined in supporting their needs. With years of experience as associate child advocate and her service as acting child advocate, not to mention her decades of experience in law representing children’s issues, Christina Ghio has my full confidence as she steps into this new official role and continues advocating for those who need a voice.”
