Paul Crisci (R)

“Connecticut is home to hundreds of thousands of residents. Over the last few decades we have allowed our state to quietly fiscally deteriorate. There are many individuals and families who depend on our leaders to prepare us for difficult times," stated Paul Crisci. "Unfortunately, we are receiving poor grades for our fiscal responsibility. My goal, if elected, is to listen to ALL the needs of the people of district 12, and provide common sense solutions that will benefit our district as well as our state."
