Hartford, Ct. – Connecticut Democratic Party Chairman Nick Balletto released the following statement on Democratic victories in Woodbridge and Bethany elections.

“Tonight’s results show that Connecticut Democrats are fired up. Over the past several months the state party has been proud to supplement the efforts of local Democrats by hosting dozens of phone banks and calling thousands of voters. We know, even in Republican-leaning towns, that a strong grassroots organization and an inclusive message about our plans to improve the economy for middle-class families can put Democratic candidates over the top. I want to congratulate Beth Heller in Woodbridge and Derry Gorski in Bethany on their successful campaigns.”
