About

Biography
Antonio "Tone" Dario Felipe is a Connecticut politician who made history as the youngest person ever appointed to House Leadership in the state. Born February 2, 1996, in Bridgeport to Ruben Felipe and Stephanie Cuomo, he is of Puerto Rican, Italian, Dominican, and Irish descent. His great-grandfather Eustaquio Ramos served as Mayor of Las Marías, Puerto Rico, from 1949–1964, and his father worked as deputy chief of staff for Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch.
Felipe ran for office at 23 in a 2019 special election to replace deceased Representative Ezequiel Santiago, defeating Republican Joshua Parrow and three Democratic rivals including former legislators Héctor A. Díaz and Christina Ayala. He assumed office on May 13, 2019, and became Deputy Majority Leader in January 2020 at age 24—the youngest to reach House Leadership in Connecticut history. He is also the first person of Dominican ancestry elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives.
His pre-election campaign work included managing races for state representative Christopher Rosario and city councillor Maria Viggiano, serving as field coordinator for former State Senator Andres Ayala and Mayor Bill Finch, and running the Bridgeport field team for then-Governor Dannel Malloy at age 18 in 2014. Felipe currently serves on the Appropriations Committee (as Subcommittee Chair on Education), the Education Committee, the Environment Committee, and chairs the Housing Committee. In 2022, he was elected Vice Chair of Connecticut's Black and Puerto Rican Caucus at age 26, the youngest to hold that position. He has received the Champion Award from Southwest Community Health Center and the Ezequiel Santiago Hispanic Champion for Justice Award, and was named to Connecticut Afro-Latino 30 under 30.
Felipe works as Manager of Community Partnerships at the University of Bridgeport alongside his legislative duties. An Aquarius born in 1996, his political identity reflects the progressive, humanitarian values often associated with that sign—advocating for education, housing, and community partnership. As a politician, he balances legislative work with grassroots organizing and constituent services. He is a citizen of the United States.
★ ORIGIN
Before Fame
Before entering elected office, Antonio Felipe built his political resume as a campaign operative across Connecticut. He managed the political campaigns of state representative Christopher Rosario (later Deputy Speaker and the 128th District's longest-serving Representative) and city councillor Maria Viggiano. At 18 in 2014, Felipe became the youngest field coordinator in Connecticut for then-Governor Dannel Malloy, running the Bridgeport field team. He also served as field coordinator for former State Senator Andres Ayala and former Mayor Bill Finch, and supported campaigns for Congressman Jim Himes, Senator Chris Murphy, and Governor Ned Lamont. This decade of campaign work positioned him to run for the Connecticut House at 23 in 2019.
