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.”
Serving the people of the 34th District is a responsibility I take very seriously. Throughout the 2026 session, I was present for every vote because every vote matters to the people I represent.

Yesterday I was proud to present a State Citation to the members of the Mark T. Sheehan High School Football Team in recognition of their 2025 CIAC Class S State Championship season.
While the team was unable to join us at the State Capitol during session for a Personal Privilege, I was happy to visit Sheehan High School and recognize these outstanding student-athletes in person for their remarkable accomplishment alongside Mayor Vincent Cervoni and members of the delegation.
Congratulations to the players, coaches, and families on an incredible achievement. Winning a state championship takes hard work, discipline, teamwork, and dedication, and this team represented Wallingford with pride both on and off the field.
Great job, Titans! Your community is proud of you! 🏈🏆
Today I was proud to host Building a Future-Ready Workforce: An AI Discussion in partnership with the United Way of Meriden and Wallingford at Choate Rosemary Hall.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way we work, learn, and do business. That’s why it is so important that educators, employers, workforce leaders, and policymakers come together to discuss how we prepare students and workers for the opportunities and challenges ahead.
A special thank you to Ellen Devine, Choate's Director of Pedagogical Innovation & Emerging Technologies, Kelli-Marie Vallieres Chief Workforce Officer of CT Workforce Strategy & Vice Chair of Governor's Workforce Council, as well as all our panelists and everyone who participated in this important conversation.
By working together, we can help ensure Connecticut remains competitive, innovative, and ready for the future.
