Al Paolillo

Every year, I take my job representing the citizens of the 97th District in New Haven very seriously. I consider it both an honor and a privilege to represent you. That is why I am proud to report that for the 2025 session, I received a perfect 100% Voting Record, meaning I was there on your behalf for 381 out of 381 House Floor votes.

Thank you for all of the trust you have placed in me.
