Andrew Roraback

Andrew Roraback (born 1960) is an American politician from Goshen, Connecticut, a state legislator, a member of the Republican Party, and a former candidate for Congress. He has been appointed to serve as a judge of the Connecticut Superior Court.

Roraback was born March 29, 1960, in Torrington, Connecticut. He is the cousin of the late Catherine Roraback, a civil rights attorney in Connecticut best known for representing Estelle Griswold and Dr. C. Lee Buxton in the famous 1965 Supreme Court case, Griswold v. Connecticut, which legalized the use of birth control in Connecticut and created the precedent of the right to privacy. Roraback is married to Kara Dowling and they reside with their son Andrew Kevin in Goshen.

Roraback attended public schools in Torrington and in Litchfield, and then high school at the Hotchkiss School. He graduated cum laude from Yale University in 1983, and in 1987 earned a J.D. from the University of Virginia Law School. He returned to Torrington in 1988 to work with his father, brother and sister at the family law firm of Roraback and Roraback, which was founded in 1883 by his great-grandfather.

In 1994, 1996, and 1998, Roraback was elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives, in the 64th Assembly District. His district then included the northwest-corner towns of Cornwall, Goshen, Salisbury, and Sharon, which provided about half of its population; the remainder of his constituents lived in Torrington, mostly outside the more densely populated south-central portion of that town—and made up about one third of that city's population.
