East Haven State Rep. Joe Zullo Sworn In, Gets Committee Assignments

HARTFORD, CT — State Representative Joe Zullo (R-99) was officially sworn in Jan. 4 at the opening-day ceremonies of the 2023 Legislative Session.

That day, each member of the Connecticut General Assembly also received their legislative committee assignments and ranking member appointments.

Zullo, appointed Ranking Member on the Planning & Development Committee, will also serve on the Housing and Finance committees.

The role of a Ranking Member is to serve as the leader of the minority party in committee meetings and collaborate with Committee Leadership in proposing bills and legislation.

"It was a pleasure to experience my first in-person start to the legislative year," Zullo is quoted as saying in a news release. "With my fiancée, Danelle, by my side, it allowed me to form a powerful perspective on my role and responsibility as a legislator. I look forward to continue serving the residents and families who work hard to provide for the future generations in our state; emphasizing interests on both sides of the aisle that provide effective housing solutions and development opportunities for years to come."

The 2023 Legislative Session continues until June 7. Resources for how to track bills, follow the legislative process, and mark vote tallies can all be found at the General Assembly's website here.
