The Black and Puerto Rican Caucus would like to welcome Corey P. Paris to the Connecticut House of Representatives following his April 26, 2021 landslide special-election victory in Stamford’s 145th district.
Corey has made it his life’s purpose and mission to be guided by public service and community activism. Throughout his professional career, those values energized the work he is committed to achieving.
As development director, Paris leads philanthropic strategies for the Children’s Learning Centers of Fairfield County (CLC).
In addition to his professional career, Paris has been an active participant in politics for nearly a decade, including his most recent role as the Connecticut Young Democrats President.
His leadership as a board member includes serving as the Vice President of Western Connecticut State University’s Alumni Association and as a national trainer for Young People For, a People For the American Way program.
Today, Corey is Vice-Chairman for the Mayor’s Multicultural Council for the city of Stamford – a role he was appointed to in 2016 by Mayor David Martin and on the Board of Directors for the Association of Fundraising Professionals of Fairfield County.
Corey was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, and grew up in Kansas City, Kansas. He is an alumnus of Western Connecticut State University, where he earned a degree in political science.
