Jason Perillo, a Republican incumbent, is running for Connecticut’s 21st State Senate District in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. The race is not currently contested, meaning no opposing candidate is listed in the district contest.

Perillo’s incumbent status means he currently holds the office he is seeking in 2026. His party designation is Republican. The election will be part of Connecticut’s statewide general election.

The District 21 race

Perillo is the only candidate listed in the State Senate District 21 race. Because the contest is currently classified as not contested, voters do not have a listed opponent to compare with him at this stage.

That status describes the race as it now stands. It does not add information about Perillo’s priorities or his plans for another term. It also does not determine the final result; voters will cast ballots in the general election on Nov. 3, 2026.

The office at stake is a seat in the Connecticut State Senate representing District 21. Perillo is seeking to remain in that seat as the incumbent.

Background

No official candidate biography is on file for Perillo in this race. As a result, there are no listed biographical details about his education, employment history, community involvement or other experience beyond his current status as the district’s incumbent state senator.

For voters, the confirmed background information is limited to three central facts: Perillo is the incumbent, he is affiliated with the Republican Party, and he is running in Senate District 21. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.

His incumbent designation distinguishes him from a first-time candidate for the seat. It identifies him as the current officeholder but does not, by itself, describe his record, priorities or positions.

Policy positions

No documented policy positions are on file for Perillo’s 2026 candidacy. That means there is no official position listed here on state spending, taxes, education, health care, transportation, housing, public safety or other matters that may come before the Connecticut General Assembly.

Party affiliation and incumbent status should not be treated as substitutes for a candidate’s stated positions. Without documented statements from Perillo, no specific policy view can be assigned to him in this profile.

Voters seeking to evaluate his candidacy will need to watch for official campaign statements or other documented positions as the election approaches. Any future positions can then be compared by issue and in the candidate’s own terms.

Campaign finance and next steps

Fundraising, spending and cash-on-hand figures are not on file for Perillo’s 2026 campaign. Those three measures describe different parts of campaign finance: money brought in, money spent and money remaining. No dollar amounts are listed for any of them.

The main process questions ahead are whether the race remains uncontested, whether Perillo files documented policy positions, and whether campaign finance totals are posted. Those developments would give voters more information before the Nov. 3 general election without indicating or predicting an outcome.

What to watch

  • Whether the District 21 race remains uncontested
  • Any documented policy positions from Perillo
  • The posting of campaign finance totals
