Thank you for your trust and faith in me. I won't let you down. Please take a look at the press release below regarding the swearing-in and a couple of items I would like to share this week.
 
STATE REPRESENTATIVE NICK MENAPACE SWORN IN ON WEDNESDAY FOR HIS FIRST TERM

 
Democratic State Representative Nick Menapace was sworn in on Wednesday for his first term. He will represent the 37th District, which covers East Lyme, Salem, and Montville.
 
“I am honored, thrilled, and ecstatic about this wonderful opportunity the residents of the 37th District have given me,” State Representative Menapace said. “I am humbled. I am also excited to get started representing the people who voted for me, and for those who didn’t vote for me as well. We’re in this together. I will represent the 37th District in Hartford as best I can.”
 
The swearing-in ceremony occurred in the House Chamber on Opening Day of the 2025 Legislative Session.
 
Rep. Menapace will sit on the Finance, Revenue and Bonding, Government Administration & Elections, and Education committees.
 
“I will be an engaged participant looking to make an impact on each of these meaningful committees,” Menapace said.
Rep. Menapace is a dedicated educator and continues to work as a teacher, bringing firsthand experience of education's challenges and opportunities to his public service role. Rep. Menapace ran for office to address issues like affordability, education, and housing. He continues to serve on the East Lyme Planning Commission. With a passion for creating equitable policies and advocating for working families, Rep. Menapace aims to ensure that all district residents have the resources and opportunities to thrive.
