Republicans Gain

on Wednesday, November 9, 2011



Blow Out!
Congratulations 
to my 
Town Committee





Elsewhere:

Despite the headlines, last night was a great night for Connecticut Republicans and our candidates. Across the state, many Republican candidates enjoyed momentous wins, some with large margins of victory. I've outlined below some of the specifics for what proved to be a successful night.
The following is based on all information that is currently available to the CT GOP and contained on the SOTS w
ebsite as of 3:30PM.

REPUBLICAN PICK-UPS
Windsor Locks (town council majority)
Tolland
Hampton
Stafford
South Windsor
Sherman
Suffield
Seymour
Plainville
Oxford
Harwinton
East Haven (pending recount)
Cromwell
Beacon Falls
Total: 14 Towns

DEMOCRATIC PICK-UPS
Chester
Burlington
Middletown
Milford
New Britain
Manchester
Newington
Southbury
Old Lyme
Total: 9 Towns

Republicans enjoyed a net gain of five towns which extends our majority from 99 towns with Republican control to 104.
As more results become available, we expect these numbers to stay consistent as outstanding towns were not heavily contested.
Many towns saw Republican candidates win by large margins such as East Lyme where Republican First Selectman Paul Formica won by a 6-1 margin and South Windsor where the lowest Republican vote-getter beat the highest Democratic vote-getter.
Additionally, many towns saw a Republican sweep--with Republicans winning every (or nearly every) office for which they fielded a candidate (Farmington, Colchester, Plainville, South Windsor, Seymour, Cromwell, and others).
There are a few of instances across the state where we expect recounts including East Haven and Cheshire. The Connecticut Republican Party intends to be very involved in the recount process as a part of our initiative to insure integrity and transparency.
