With the Connecticut General Assembly's 2021 session set to begin this week on Jan. 6, Sen.-Elect Paul Cicarella (R-North Haven) has been named Senate Republican Whip by Senate Republican Leader Kevin Kelly (R-Stratford). As a freshman legislator, he looks to bring new energy and perspective to this role for the benefit of his constituents.

"I plan to be accessible to all constituents so that I can voice their challenges, concerns and ideas in Hartford."

In addition to serving as Senate Republican Whip, Sen.-Elect Cicarella will serve as the leading Republican on the legislature’s Housing and Veterans' Affairs Committees. He will also serve on the legislature's Appropriations and Public Safety and Security Committees.

A North Haven resident, Sen.-Elect Cicarella will begin his first term representing the 34th Senate District, which includes Durham, East Haven, North Haven and Wallingford.
