The Barkhamsted Election Day results once again went in the Republican Party’s favor, winning every race on the ballot for their town.
Barkhamsted RTC Chair, Juliana Simone, said, “I am very pleased with the results, and respect our town voters who are obviously clear on policy and what direction our state needs to take to move forward. Our residents recognized the candidates who would bring them out of the dire fiscal situation we’ve been in for a long time here in Connecticut, and wanted to elect the people who would bring back business and jobs, as well as reduce taxes and spending.”
A cold rainy day did not reduce voter turnout. Long lines regardless of time maintained throughout the polling place hours.

Incumbent William Simanski – 1099

In the town of Granby, where I joined our State Representative William Simanski to wait for results, their numbers after a long wait came in with on the Republican side, Bob Stefanowski, John Kissel and Bill Simanski winning their races. On the Democrat side, Chris Murphy and John Larson each had about 200 more votes than their challengers Matthew Corey and Jennifer Nye.
The town of Granby also voted yes on both ballot initiative questions.
