Owen Weaver Receives Unanimous Republican Nomination for State Senate

Orange, CT – May 22, 2026 – Owen Weaver, born and raised in Orange, accomplished municipal attorney, civil litigator, coach, and dedicated community volunteer, has received the unanimous Republican nomination for Connecticut State Senate District 14.

Weaver’s campaign focuses on affordability, local control, and common-sense solutions for families across Orange, Milford, West Haven, and Woodbridge. As a coach and active volunteer, he brings a deep commitment to service. As a municipal attorney, including as Town Counsel for Orange, he understands the importance of practical leadership.

“I am deeply honored to receive the unanimous support of the Republican Party to run for State Senate,” said Weaver. “For too long, Hartford has ignored the voices of our towns and burdened our families with rising costs and top-down regulations. I’m running to bring common-sense representation back to the Capitol, fighting for lower costs, safeguarding local control, and delivering real solutions that strengthen our communities and our families.”

“Owen Weaver will bring experienced, balanced, and effective leadership to Hartford,” said State Representative Kathy Kennedy, who nominated Weaver. “He has real insight into the challenges facing our towns and families and will be a strong advocate for the 14th district.”

“Owen Weaver’s strong leadership as the Orange Town Attorney and his extensive volunteer work in our community make him the ideal candidate. He understands our towns and has consistently put service first,” said Chad Lombardi, Chairman of the Orange Republican Town Committee.

Weaver is committed to cutting wasteful spending, lowering the tax burden on homeowners and small businesses, and protecting local authority over issues like zoning. As a father whose children attend local public schools, he has a personal understanding of the challenges facing families and educators. He will fight to protect local control of education decisions and ensure teachers have the resources and tools they need to succeed in the classroom.
