Republican State Representative Mark DeCaprio Announces Re-Election Bid in 48th District

LEBANON – Republican State Representative Mark DeCaprio (48^th) has announced he is running for re‑election in the 48th General Assembly District, which includes all of Bozrah, Colchester, Franklin, and part of Lebanon.   

“We are in an affordability crisis in Connecticut,” DeCaprio said. “Families, seniors, and small businesses are being squeezed by high taxes, high utility rates, and rising costs. I’m running for re‑election to keep fighting for relief and to make our state more affordable for the people who live and work here. I have worked very hard on behalf of all of our residents - it would be my honor to have that opportunity once again.” 

A U.S. Navy veteran and 40‑year Lebanon resident, Mark has devoted much of his life to public service. He and his wife, Cathy, raised their family in Lebanon, where he previously served on the Lebanon Board of Selectmen, the Zoning Board of Appeals, and the Lebanon Board of Education. He also served as Lebanon’s Emergency Management Director, helping communities prepare for and respond to natural disasters and other crises.  At the state level, he spent many years working in emergency management and environmental protection.

In the General Assembly, DeCaprio currently serves on the Appropriations where he believes in responsible budgeting, Judiciary, Public Safety & Security and Veteran Affairs Committees.   

“In Hartford, I’ve worked hard to stand up for our veterans, strengthen public safety, and push back against policies that drive up costs and utility bills,” DeCaprio said. “If I’m honored to be re-elected, I’ll continue fighting every day for lower costs, safer communities, and a stronger future for Bozrah, Colchester, Franklin, and Lebanon.” 

DeCaprio is seeking re‑election to continue bringing experienced, local leadership to Hartford and to keep fighting for lower costs, safer communities, and a stronger future for the 48th District.
