Becker Wins Primary for 19th District Seat

West Hartford Attorney Brian Becker won yesterday's Democratic primary for the 19th District House seat. The West Hartford News reports unofficial results have Becker, the party endorsed candidate, leading Board of Education member Terry Schmitt 1,320 to 1029. A number of absentee ballots had yet to be counted, although Schmitt conceded the race late last evening.

Becker will now face West Hartford Town Council Minority Leader Denise Berard Hall to fill the seat being vacated by Beth Bye.
