Democrats hold three CT House seats in special elections
Democrats claimed victory Tuesday night in special elections for three Connecticut House seats opened by the death of Quentin Williams, D-Middletown, and resignations of Dan Fox, D-Stamford, and Edwin Vargas Jr., D-Hartford.
The wins by James “Jimmy” Sanchez of Hartford in the 6th District, Kai Juanna Belton of Middletown in the 100th and Anabel D. Figueroa of Stamford in the 148th restore Democrats to the 98-53 majority won in November.
House Speaker Matt Ritter, D-Hartford, said unofficial results showed the Democrats winning by large margins on a snowy day with a strong turnout in Middletown, a city rocked by the death of Williams, and smaller ones in the other races.
Unofficial results showed Belton winning, 1,716 to 776; Figueroa, 584-373; and Sanchez, 325-198.
