Congressional candidate, Justin Paglino is a scientist and political activist running on the Green Party ticket for Connecticut's 3rd Congressional District. He holds an MD and a PhD in virology, having transitioned from a 17-year career in medical science to focus on family, political activism, and music. Paglino lives in Guilford, Connecticut, with his wife, Jill, a licensed professional counselor, and their two children.
Paglino's campaign centers on several key issues: Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, economic equality, and ranked-choice voting. His commitment to these policies stems from a desire to address the healthcare crisis, environmental degradation, and economic disparity. He believes in redirecting resources from military spending to public welfare and advocates for urgent action on climate change, including banning fracking and implementing a carbon tax.
Previously a Democrat, Paglino shifted to the Green Party after becoming disillusioned with the two-party system. He argues for ranked-choice voting as a way to break the dominance of the major parties and ensure that voters can support candidates who truly represent their values without fear of wasting their votes.
In addition to his political pursuits, Paglino is actively involved in several organizations, including Physicians for a National Healthcare Program, Medicare for All Connecticut, and the Guilford Peace Alliance. He also teaches piano and performs with local music groups.
Paglino's 2020 and 2022 campaigns for Congress highlight his dedication to implementing Green Party policies and making a substantial impact on both local and national levels (Ballotpedia) (Justin Paglino for Congress) (Yale Daily News).
