Staff Reports

FARMINGTON – State Rep. Mike Demicco (D-21) held off Republican challenger Joe Capodiferro in the Farmington-Unionville state assembly district as Democrats prevailed across the town’s ballot. Demicco received 5,486 (54.86%) to Capodiferro’s 4,919 (45.04%).

Demicco will begin his sixth term in January. He was first elected to the legislature in 2012, after serving four terms on the Farmington Town Council.  He is currently a Deputy Majority Leader in the House of Representatives, and serves on the Environment, Public Health, and Energy & Technology Committees.

Governor Ned Lamont and Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz defeated Republicans Bob Stefanowski and Laura Devlin, gaining more than 56% of the vote at the top of the ticket. U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal (D-CT) and Democratic candidates for the state’s constitutional offices also won by double digit margins. By contrast, in 2018, Lamont narrowly lost to Stefanowski for Governor for the open seat to succeed Dannell Malloy in Farmington.
