Meet Justin

Justin Paglino is a published and award-winning MD, PhD scientist living in Guilford, Connecticut who transitioned from a 17 year career in medical science and virology to dedicate more time to family, political activism, and music. His wife Jill Paglino is a counselor for Clinton Youth and Family Services and his children Dean (16) and Elise (12) attend Guilford Public Schools.  He teaches piano, and also performs frequently in various local groups.  He is co-chair of his local chapter of the Green Party of Connectiucut, the Shoreline Green Party.  He is also an active member of  Physicians for a National Healthcare Program (PNHP), Medicare for All Connecticut, The Guilford Peace Alliance, and Voter-Choice Connecticut (a Ranked Choice Voting grassroots group), and has acted in support of many more local activist organizations over the years. 

Justin ran on the Green Party Line for the Congressional seat of District 3 in Connecticut in 2020, a district comprising 25 towns.  Justin is running again for the same seat in 2022 because the work he set out to do is still incomplete:  we still need several broadly popular Green Party policies to be implemented, including Medicare For All, a redirection of resources from warfare to the people’s welfare, urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and policies to reverse the ongoing worsening of egregious economic inequality.
