HARTFORD—House Republican Leader Lawrence Cafero (R-Norwalk) elevated State Representative Marilyn Giuliano (R-23) to Assistant Republican Leader and Giuliano's appointment was unanimously ratified by the 51 member caucus.

Giuliano was also appointed to committee leadership as the Ranking Member for the legislature's Education Committee. In addition, Giuliano was assigned to serve on the Appropriations and the Program Review and Investigation committees.

On Jan. 5th, Giuliano was sworn in as State Representative for the 23rd General Assembly District covering Lyme, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook and Westbrook making this her 5th term at the Capitol.

“As we being a new session in Hartford, my colleagues and I have the opportunity to make positive changes in the way we govern and lead the State of Connecticut. With a looming $3 billion deficit it won’t be an easy task, but I’m ready to work with other lawmakers and the new administration to offer sound solutions to the problems we face as a state. Our number one priority this session should be getting our fiscal house in order and enacting job-friendly policies in Connecticut,” said Giuliano.

Giuliano represents Lyme, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook and Westbrook in the General Assembly.
