Clinton Election Results

On a warm Election Day, Clinton voters turned out at nearly an 83% clip to make their voices heard. In addition to the high-profile presidential election, voters also helped decide some important local races.

The results largely followed the state’s overall trends, with Democratic candidates mostly receiving more votes than other parties but not quite by as much of a percentage as they won in 2020.

In the presidential race, voters favored Democrat Kamala Harris over Republican Donald Trump by a 4,318 to 3,550 margin. Harris won Connecticut in the Electoral College, but Trump won the national election.

Several minor party candidates also received votes. Forty-nine people voted for Jill Stein, while Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver got 37 votes. Petitioning candidate Robert Kennedy candidate got 40 votes.

Clinton voters chose Democratic incumbent Chris Murphy to be the United States Senator Christopher over Republican Matthew Corey by a 4,205 to 3,257 margin. Murphy got 185 votes on the Working Families Party line as well.

Green Party candidate Justin Paglino got 68 votes, while Robert Hyde of the Cheaper Gas and Groceries party got 63 votes.

Clinton voters chose Democrat Joe Courtney to be the Connecticut Representative in Congress with 4,467 votes compared to 3,250 votes for Republican Mike France.

Clinton also favored Democratic incumbent Norm Needleman to be the district's state senator. Needleman received 4,293 votes on the Democratic line as well as 182 on the Independent Party line. Republican Jeffery Duigou received 3,324 votes. Needleman won his race district-wide.

One race where Republicans won in Clinton was the race between Republican incumbent Chris Aniskovich and Democratic challenger Cinzia Lettieri to be the district’s state representative. Aniskovich won 3,949 votes overall between the Republican and Independent Party lines, while Lettieri won 3,825. Aniskovich won district-wide.

Voters also elected Mark Vasil as the Democratic Registrar of Voters, while Lawrence Edwards was elected to the same position for Republicans. Both ran unopposed and won their seats regardless of vote totals.

A question asking if the state constitution should be amended to allow every voter to vote by absentee ballot passed 3,974 to 2751 opposed.

In total, 8,629 voters voted in the election, an increase of about 787 votes from 2020.

A Fond Farewell

Shortly before election results were read, Democratic Registrar of Voters June Hansen announced that this would be the last election for her and Republican Registrar of Voters Wendy McDermott since they are both retiring at the end of their terms. The pair received applause from all those on hand to hear the final results called.
