If you're in Plymouth and haven't been to Steve's Top Dog and Smokehouse on Main Street yet, it's worth stopping by. Earlier this week, State Rep. Joe Hoxha had a chance to meet with Owner Steve Lavoie and hear more about his new venture. Steve said Stepping away from the hot dog cart provides him with a venue to test his culinary abilities and be more creative. Depending on the day, he enjoys throwing together new items to see what his customers' reactions might be. Don't let the restaurant's name fool you, while smokehouse is an essential part of the menu, it isn't the only fare, he also specializes in some American and French-Canadian favorites as well. While hot dogs are always a favorite, they serve wings, flatbreads, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, soups and salads.

On Wednesday, State Representative Joe Hoxha had the honor of presenting the OM Keystone Association of the Boys & Girls Club of Bristol , a volunteer-led alumni organization of the Bristol Boys & Girls Club, with a legislative citation on behalf of the Bristol delegation to recognize their more than 100 years of dedicated service to the community. For those of you who may not know, the OM Keystone Association is composed of adults (18+) who spend countless hours working to assist the club with financial support, advocacy, and volunteer hours to assist in their efforts to enrich the lives of local boys and girls. "It was a privilege to have been invited to acknowledge this group and their numerous contributions to our City and surrounding towns," Rep. Hoxha said.
I had an opportunity to get a sneak peek into what will ultimately be the new facility for Future Champions Gymnastics (FCG) at 231 Century Drive. While work is still being done inside, the renovations will include a larger gymnastics area and training pits, family lounge, party room, and welcome lobby for families, guests, and visitors. Despite not being finished quite yet, you can envision the plan and how it will be utilized. This new state-of-the-art facility is amazing and will provide an opportunity for added growth and new opportunities for more families in and around the City of Bristol.

"I am extremely proud to have achieved a 100% voting record for the 2026 legislative session," Rep. Hoxha said. "Each vote is an opportunity to ensure our district is heard on every single issue before the legislature. I remain 100% committed to putting our district first and being present is fundamental in obtaining that goal."
This morning, State Representative Joe Hoxha co-hosted an informational session bringing together current and former lawmakers, local leaders, educators, students, groups, and organizations who share an interest in exploring the feasibility (via legislative study) of a proposed bridge that would connect Connecticut and Long Island, New York.
