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.”
This swift arrest happened thanks to the alert and quick actions of many concerned people in our community. They saw something very wrong happening in the library, and they immediately reported it.
Now, questions must be asked about this arrestee. I have been getting calls from neighbors that are both furious and concerned.
What’s his criminal history? Where has he been living? Has he been living in a neighborhood halfway house? Is he monitored? How? How often and by whom?
We have already seen Connecticut make shocking national news for releasing a cannibal to live in a Waterbury halfway house. As law-abiding citizens, we must demand answers. Law breakers in North Haven, Waterbury, and across Connecticut must be held accountable.

The man also was charged with breach of peace, according to police.
Coffee with a Cop in Wallingford!
I stopped by Soups On! at A Kinder Ground Café for a great conversation with local police, Kinder Ground staff and members of our community.
Thank you to the Wallingford PD—your commitment to building trust and continuing an open conversation with ALL Wallingford residents is appreciated.
A special shoutout to Dom for his thoughtful journal entry written right here at the café.
This is a great example of A Kinder Ground’s mission in our community: a place where everyone is seen, valued, and given the chance to shine.
