From Courant.com:
Republican Laura Hoydick is the newest member of the state legislature.
She won a special election Tuesday night in Stratford, and she will be filling the seat once held by former Rep. John A. Harkins.
Harkins, a state lawmaker since 1997 and the former House Republican caucus chairman, won the race as Stratford’s mayor and stepped down as a legislator.
“Laura’s victory echoes the message that has resonated throughout town halls and forums across our state,” said Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele of Stamford. “The change that has been promised for all too long has yet to come. That change will come from restoring the balance of power in Hartford. That message is loud and clear, and it’s time for the Democrat majority to start listening.”
