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.”
Connecticut families are struggling with affordability and are asking for real relief. Yet today, a 700+ page budget bill was dropped just hours before debate, with sections that never even received a public hearing.
A bill of this size and scope should not be voted on as a single measure, especially when it includes so many unrelated issues.
The people of Connecticut deserve better. I’ll continue fighting for my constituents, pushing for real affordability, and making sure their voices are heard.

Watch my behind the scenes interview with WFSB - Channel 3 Eyewitness News on today’s press conference regarding mental health and law enforcement.
This is a serious issue, but we cannot solve it by undermining law enforcement.
We need thoughtful solutions that support both those in crisis and the officers responding to these difficult situations.
Today on the Senate floor, I had the honor of presenting a Point of Personal Privilege to recognize the Lyman Hall Trojans Hockey Team on capturing the CIAC Division II State Championship!
Your hard work, determination, and teamwork throughout the season paid off in a big way, culminating in an impressive 5–2 victory to bring the title home to Wallingford.
This championship reflects not only the talent of these outstanding student-athletes, but also the dedication of their coaches, families, and supporters who stood behind them every step of the way. You have made your school and our entire community incredibly proud!
