| Info | David J. Cappiello is now in his fourth term as State Senator representing the 24 th District towns of Danbury, Bethel, New Fairfield, and Sherman. First elected in 1994 to the Connecticut House of Representatives from Danbury’s 138 th District, Senator Cappiello served two terms before being elected to the State Senate in 1998.
He was named Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate for the 2004-05 legislative sessions and currently serves as the Ranking Republican Senator on the Legislature’s budget writing Appropriations Committee as well as the Legislative, Collective Bargaining and General Government Subcommittees. Senator Cappiello also serves as the lead Republican Senator of the General Law Committee along with the Legislature’s Internship Committee. The Senator is also a member of the Judiciary Committee.
Senator Cappiello has established and maintained an exemplary record of passing effective, far-reaching legislation. He served as a key member of a working group for managed care reforms that developed legislation in 1999 which led to the creation of a managed care ombudsman and expanded coverage for certain diseases. In addition, he played a significant role in the Senate Republican effort in 2001 to expand ConnPACE, the state’s prescription drug program for the elderly and disabled.
Senator Cappiello has been recognized by a number of organizations for his legislative accomplishments. He was nominated for the Danbury Jaycees Distinguished Service Award and served as the Education Chairman for the United Way in 1998. The March of Dimes has honored him for his longtime dedication to legislation improving the health of newborns. In June 2002, a bill he drafted, An Act Requiring The Screening of Newborns For Metabolic Diseases, was signed into law. This new legislation expands newborn screening to include testing for L-CHAD and the disorder known as M-CAD, along with other amino acid disorders, organic acid disorders and fatty acid oxidation disorders.
On a local level, The American Red Cross of Western Connecticut honored Senator Cappiello in 2001 for his outstanding supportive efforts towards Disaster Relief Services post 9/11. The Senator was also a recipient of the WeCAHR 2003 Public Service Award, for his ongoing service and support of children and adults with mental retardation. The Regional YMCA of Western Connecticut has recognized him for his supportive role in upholding their mission of building strong kids, families and communities.
More recently, Senator Cappiello played a key legislative role in a critical battle with the state of Connecticut’s Office Of Healthcare Access (OHCA) in successfully obtaining Danbury Hospital’s approval to provide Greater Danbury Area residents with direct access to Cardiac Care. Both the American Heart and Lung Associations have awarded Senator Cappiello for his commitment and dedication to a healthier Connecticut. The Connecticut Association of Non-Profits and Connecticut Community Providers have also honored the Senator for his steadfast commitment and service to the nonprofit sector of Connecticut.
Outside of his work at the State Capitol, he remains an active member of many local civic and community organizations including the Lebanon-American Club, the Amerigo Vespucci Lodge, the Portuguese Cultural Center, the Danbury Lions Club, American Red Cross of Western Connecticut and St. Anthony’s Maronite Catholic Church.
Born August 15, 1968, in Danbury, he attended Western Connecticut State University and began his legislative career as an intern at the State Capitol. He then worked for the Connecticut House Republican Office for two and one half years before running for elected office.
Senator Cappiello is currently a mortgage loan officer for Flagstar Bank, Danbury Connecticut. He was married to Christine Ciarleglio on June 28, 2002. The Senator and his wife welcomed their first child, John (Jack) Reagan Cappiello, in July 2005. The family resides in Danbury.
