Elected Representative

Amy Romano
Republican

A special election in the U.S. state of Connecticut was held on April 22, 2025, to elect a new member to the Connecticut House of Representatives to represent District 113. The special election was called after the resignation of longtime Republican incumbent Jason Perillo following his election to the Connecticut Senate. District 113 contains part of the town of Shelton, located within the Naugatuck Valley Planning Region.

Background and procedure

On February 28, 2025, Republican representative Jason Perillo resigned soon after winning a special election to the Connecticut Senate. He had held the seat since 2007. Under state law, the Governor of Connecticut is required to call a special election within 10 days of a state legislative seat becoming vacant, and the election must be held within 46 days of the call. Governor Ned Lamont called the election on March 7 and scheduled the election for April 22. [1] This special election will not affect the balance of power in the state house, as Democrats held a 102–49 supermajority in the chamber prior to the vacancy. [2]
