Len Fasano is a Republican member of the Connecticut Senate, representing the 34th District since 2003. Senator Fasano was sworn in as Senate Republican President Pro Tempore in January 2017. Under the new leadership role Senator Fasano will lead a Republican caucus with considerably more control over the Senate's agenda than in previous years as a result of a power sharing agreement negotiated after Republicans gained three seats in the Connecticut Senate, creating a tie for the first time since 1893. Previously, he had served as the Senate Minority Leader since 2015.

Fasano has been the State Senator for the 34th Senate District since 2003, representing the suburbs of New Haven in the Connecticut Senate, including the towns of Durham (part), East Haven, North Haven (part), and Wallingford.

Fasano is a tax attorney, and partner with Fasano, Ippolito, Lee & Florentine with offices in New Haven and Branford. He also owns Silver Sands Beach and Tennis Club in East Haven, Connecticut.

Fasano was elected in 2002, 50% to 48%. He was Minority Whip from 2003-2004, Assistant Minority Leader from 2005-2006, Deputy Minority Leader from 2007 to 2008, Minority Leader Pro Tem from 2009-2014, Minority Leader since 2014, and Senate Republican President Pro Tempore since 2017.
