Maroney: Delivering for the District
James Maroney has spent his time in the State Senate focused on one question: how do we make Connecticut work better for the people who live here? That means bringing grant dollars home to our towns, cutting red tape for small businesses, and writing the laws that protect families from the risks of a fast-changing digital world. As Deputy Majority Leader and Co-Chair of the General Law Committee, James has built a reputation in Hartford as someone who gets results — not by shouting the loudest, but by doing the homework, building coalitions on both sides of the aisle, and following through until the job is done.
Meet Senator Maroney
James Maroney is a lifelong resident of Milford, a graduate of Jonathan Law High School and Yale University, and a small business owner who has spent nearly three decades helping local students get into college as the founder of First Choice College Placement. Before running for office, he served on the Milford Board of Education and helped found the Milford Education Foundation — work that gave him a front-row seat to what families in our district actually need.
First elected to the State Senate in 2018 after representing the 119th District in the House, James now serves as Deputy Majority Leader and Co-Chair of the General Law Committee, where he also sits on the Aging, Energy and Technology, Finance Revenue and Bonding, and Higher Education and Employment Advancement Committees. He and his wife, Jen, live in Milford with their son.
A Record of Results
Protecting your data
James wrote the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, making Connecticut the fifth state in the nation to give residents the right to know what companies collect about them, access and delete their data, and opt out of having it sold. He didn't stop there — since 2022, James has led the fight to close loopholes, add new protections for kids' and health data, and, in 2026, pass legislation giving every Connecticut resident the right to have their personal information deleted from data broker databases entirely.
Keeping AI honest
As states step in where Congress has stalled, James has become one of the country's leading voices on artificial intelligence policy — authoring legislation to govern how state government uses AI and to hold companies accountable for the AI systems that increasingly shape our lives.

Protecting kids online

Serving Milford, Orange, West Haven, and Woodbridge
From bringing state grant funding into our towns to helping constituents navigate state services, James and his office are known for being responsive, accessible, and relentless about following up.
