John,
Yesterday, you showed up for Democratic candidates across our state! The results are in: - 17 towns flipped from red to blue at the top of the ticket, including Fairfield, Newington, Colchester, Cromwell, and many historically red towns
- Council majorities flipped from red to blue in Cheshire, Wethersfield, Clinton, Ashford, East Lyme and more
-
Extreme MAGA candidates were defeated in critical elections in Derby and Brookfield
- The Mayor of Danbury will be a Democrat for the first time in two decades
-
Democrats maintained control in contested open seats like Hartford, Waterbury, East Hartford, and West Haven
- We saw
historic victories for Mayoral candidates of color, women and LGBTQ+ candidates
These victories were possible thanks to the incredible candidates who stepped up to run, volunteers who worked tirelessly to support them, voters who turned out to have their voices heard, and you.
Your generous support to the Connecticut Democratic Party meant we could hold monthly trainings for candidates and volunteers, invest in new technologies and tools, and run top-notch, sophisticated campaigns in every corner of the state.
As our Chairwoman and I were poll standing yesterday with candidates, we felt your energy and enthusiasm and we are sincerely grateful to you for making last night such a success. Thank you.
Our work is never done and the focus must now shift to 2024. But today, we celebrate with you and send our sincere appreciation to the voters who believe in us.
Voters across Connecticut share in your desire to move our communities, our state, and our country forward. |
Onward, Jimmy Tickey Vice Chair, CT Dems |
