Formica Will Not Seek 5th Term.

State Senator Paul Formica will not run for re-election, adding to Republican troubles as they try to add to the paltry 13 seats they hold in the 36-member chamber. Formica is serving his fourth term and rose last year to deputy leader of the Republican caucus.

Formica represents the 20th Senate District, which includes all or parts of eight towns on or near the state’s eastern shoreline. Formica, who lives in East Lyme, was uniquely popular in the district that was long held by Democrats.
