Sean Scanlon
CT State Comptroller
2023-present
Sean Scanlon began his term as Connecticut’s 67th State Comptroller in 2023. 
The son of a police officer and small business owner, Sean attended Guilford public schools and worked his way through high school and Boston College.
From 2015 to 2023, Sean served as the State Representative for the 98th District in the Connecticut General Assembly. As chairman of the legislature’s Insurance Committee, Sean wrote and passed legislation protecting people with pre-existing conditions from insurance discrimination, established the lowest monthly co-pay cap for insulin in the nation at $25, prevented insurance companies from covering mental health differently than physical health, required health insurance plans to cover ten “Essential Health Benefits,” and created Connecticut’s first prescription drug price transparency law. During his fourth and final term, Sean served as Chair of the Finance, Revenue and Bonding committee where he led the fight to create tax relief for working families and worked with Governor Lamont to pass the largest tax cut in state history.
During his first term as Comptroller, Sean successfully reformed Connecticut’s municipal and disability pension systems, strengthened the benefits of first responders, created the state’s first prescription drug discount card, dramatically expanded enrollment Connecticut’s small business retirement plan MyCTSavings and championed efforts to make health care more accessible and affordable.
Sean lives in Guilford with his wife Meghan, who is the President & CEO of the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and their two sons.

The CFA Society Hartford pays for the events on a per person basis based on the number of RSVPs received. If a member RSVPs that they will be attending and does not attend, CFA Society Hartford must still pay for that person. In many instances, this adds up to hundreds of dollars per event. Please be sure to cancel your reservation as soon as possible if you later realize you will be unable to attend.
