Young Republican Governor Candidate | Hartford News

Thirty-six-year-old Republican State Senator Ryan Fazio is running to become Connecticut’s youngest governor ever—and the first GOP leader in the statehouse since 2006. His campaign zeroes in on one urgent message: Connecticut has become unaffordable for families, workers, and businesses. With a popular sitting governor and a national political climate that’s tough on Republicans, Fazio’s strategy is simple: sell voters on his personal record and bold policies—not party labels. He’s already won in a Democratic stronghold, proving voters care more about results than ideology. A finance veteran, he promises smarter spending, the biggest middle-class tax cut in state history, capped property taxes, lower energy costs, and pro-business reforms. On housing, he backs local zoning control and workforce training to boost skilled labor—offering a practical, fiscally disciplined alternative to the status quo.
