CT-HD113: Amy Romano (R) wins Shelton House seat

[RandySF]

Amy Romano, the chair of the Shelton Board of Education, won a special election Tuesday to the state House of Representatives, maintaining Republican control of a seat held by the GOP for more than half a century.

Unofficial results showed Romano defeating Democrat Mike Duncan, a member of the Water Pollution Control Authority, by a vote of 1,638 to 1,479 in the 113th House District of Shelton, succeeding Jason Perillo.

Perillo resigned in February after winning a special election for the state Senate seat vacated by Republican Kevin C. Kelly of Stratford, who left the Senate to become a judge of the Superior Court.

The contest in the 113th House District comes as special elections in some parts of the U.S. have been a test of the degree to which the falling approval rate of President Donald J. Trump has harmed the GOP.
