CHAIRMAN BALLETTO’S STATEMENT ON TODAY’S SPECIAL ELECTIONS

Hartford, CT — Connecticut Democratic Party Chairman Nick Balletto released the following statement this evening on today’s special elections:

“Tonight was another good night for the Democratic Party. With these results we add two more Democratic voices to the General Assembly from Bridgeport.  I know Steve Stafstrom and Ed Gomes will represent their constituents well in Hartford. They join our Democratic majorities in continuing Connecticut’s progress made over the last four years and debating important issues such as transforming our transportation system.  I wish them the best of luck as they take on this important responsibility.  I also commend Howard Lasser on a hard fought battle in a tough district. We are grateful that Howard stepped up as a candidate to campaign on our Democratic values.”
