PROUDLY SERVING THE 34TH DISTRICT
State Senator Paul Cicarella
Senior Deputy Republican Leader
Paul Cicarella, elected in 2020, represents Connecticut’s 34th District. He is named the leading Republican on the legislature’s General Law and Public Safety and Security Committees, and returns on the Regulations Review, Veterans and Military Affairs, and Judiciary Committees. He also serves on the legislature’s newly formed Government Oversight Committee and the Joint Committee on Legislative Management.
Paul is a small business owner, retired corrections officer and youth sports coach with a record of championing important initiatives focused on families, law enforcement, safety and security.
“I will continue to advocate for commonsense solutions to address affordability, restore public safety, and tackle other quality-of-life issues for our seniors and Veterans of the 34th District.”
Congratulations to owner Chris Allen and the entire team at Gas Burgers on today’s grand opening in North Haven!
It was a pleasure to stop by with First Selectman Mike Freda and celebrate this exciting new local business. From the beautifully restored historic gas station to the retro atmosphere, Gas Burgers is a great addition to our community.
Congratulations again to Chris and the entire team. I look forward to seeing Gas Burgers become a staple in North Haven for generations to come. 🍔🎉

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Future Caucus Summit in Washington, D.C.
As one of the Co-Chairs of the Connecticut caucus, it was an honor to represent our state alongside our bipartisan delegation and other legislators committed to building relationships across party lines and advancing solutions that put people before politics.
During the summit, we visited the U.S. Capitol and I joined fellow Connecticut Republican legislators for meetings at the White House and the Pentagon, where we discussed leadership, public service, veterans’ issues, and the challenges and opportunities facing our communities.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent the 34th District and will continue working to bring a collaborative, commonsense approach to the issues that matter most to Connecticut families.
Connecticut’s latest ranking from the CNBC “Top States for Business” survey, confirms what many families already know, our state has become increasingly unaffordable.
From rising electric bills and property taxes to the everyday cost of groceries and gas, too many residents are feeling the financial strain. Connecticut has incredible potential, but we need policies that make it easier for families, seniors, and businesses to succeed, not harder.
I’ll continue advocating for commonsense solutions that lower costs, strengthen our economy, and make Connecticut a place where people can afford to live, work, and raise a family.
