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.”
UPCOMING EVENTS
Coffee Hour with Sen. Paul Cicarella and Rep. Dave Yaccarino
With the extreme cold continuing, I want to make sure everyone knows that both Wallingford YMCA branches are open as warming centers now through Sunday, February 8.
The Wallingford Family YMCA is welcoming anyone in need at no cost, with access to showers, pools, fitness areas, coffee, and phone charging.
Please see the flier for locations and hours, and share this information with anyone who may need a warm, safe place out of the cold.
Thank you to our YMCA partners for stepping up for our community!
Let’s come together to support the Kamp Family after their tragic loss. A Pasta Dinner Fundraiser will be held on Thursday, January 29th at St. Therese Church Hall in North Haven. I hope you’ll join me and others in showing our support!
Honored to attend the 2026 Connecticut's Kid Governor Inauguration!
I couldn’t be prouder that North Haven’s Tessa Hallinan of Green Acres Elementary has been named Connecticut’s 2026 Kid Governor. Her “Everyone Belongs,” platform is a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusion and kindness in our schools. Tessa’s message teaches that leadership can come from any age.
It was an honor to attend this special event alongside State Representative Dave Yaccarino, Mike Freda, and meet with Tessa and her parents, Victoria and Sean. Seeing her confidence and enthusiasm firsthand was truly inspiring.
Congratulations as well to the 2026 Kid Governor Cabinet: Aja Reci, Alyvia Stoddard, Dylan Ellis, Myra Ruparel, Nana Appau, and Samuel James.
Thank you to the Connecticut Democracy Center and Connecticut’s Old State House for hosting such a meaningful celebration of youth leadership and civic engagement!
