Featured in the leading widow/er magazine, Pathfinder, Paul Formica describes his personal story of loss and how this inspired him to wade into Argentine Tango. We all experience different ups and downs throughout our lives and sometimes holding this in is the first reaction. Having the interconnected and supportive community allows people to have the courage to voice their losses and help to heal. 

Team Formica continues to grow by the day! Last night we gathered and made over 1,721 phone calls. Do you have a great idea that you want to put into action? Join the team! 

Join us on October 5th as the American Heart Association hosts the Rocky Neck Heart walk. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m. 

Paul Formica is a co-chair of the event which has the goal to raise more than $250,000 to support the mission of the heart association. Illnesses related to the heart are one of the highest causes of death in the state of Connecticut. Bringing the community together and sparking awareness we can start to change this.

Join Paul Formica on Tuesday, September 9th from 4-5:30 pm at Muddy Waters in New London. PF will be talking about ideas to put into action in the 20th District.

Formica Issues #FormicaChallenge

EAST LYME – Paul Formica the Republican candidate for the 20^th State Senate district, Tuesday issued the #FormicaChallenge on his campaign’s official Facebook page.

“Here in East Lyme when we started with our budget I challenged our department heads to not spend 1.5% of their budget and return the funds to the town. I offer the same challenge the same to all candidates in the state receiving state campaign financing. Let’s be efficient and return 1.5% of each of our campaigns back to the state of Connecticut. I am going to do it and hope you will, too.”

According to the State Election Enforcement Commission webpage the grants vary from $27,850 for State Representative to over $6.5 million for governor. If every candidate accepts the #FormicaChallenge it would mean hundreds of thousands of dollars returned to the state.

On Thursday, August 21, Paul Formica, the Republican candidate for the 20^th State Senate district, earned the nomination of the State Independent Party.

“I am very grateful to the Independent Party for its support and endorsement. Thank you for affirming that a leader who puts ideas into action is the best option for our district and the State," said Formica.

Putting Ideas Into Action! "The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe it possible"
