Biography

Ryan Fazio is a Republican state senator from Greenwich and the Republican and Independent Party nominee for governor, with running mate Matt Corey. First elected in a 2021 special election, he is the ranking senator on the Energy and Technology Committee. His platform centers on cutting income taxes and electricity bills, capping property taxes and a 'Grand Bargain' on housing that protects local zoning control.[1][2][3][4]

Fazio was born in Norwalk and raised in Greenwich.[5] He earned a B.A. in economics from Northwestern University in 2012.[3] He worked mostly in the commodities industry, in energy, agriculture and shipping, and is now a financial advisor.[3][5]

Fazio won a special election in August 2021 for the 36th Senate district, which covers Greenwich and parts of Stamford and New Canaan.[6][7] The win ended the Democratic supermajority in the Senate, and he was re-elected in 2022 and 2024.[3]
