The results on the state senate race I mentioned yesterday! [View all]

full story and pic of candidate here http://www.nhregister.com/government-and-politics/20140225/holder-winfield-wins-10th-district-state-senate-race

Note that Gary's opposition was a guy who is backed by a RW group: Family Institute of Connecticut Action.

Also note this paragraph discussing the opposition's campaign lies and distortions:

Mullins’ campaign was colored by disputes with the city clerk’s office in New Haven over absentee ballot applications and, with days to go before Tuesday’s vote, he distributed misleading and sensational flyers and ran television ads accusing Holder-Winfield of supporting a tax bill that didn’t exist and of putting women and girls in danger of being accosted by sexual predators.


The last reference was about a bill protecting the rights of transgendered individuals.

Our New Haven ward 26 was also mentioned. Gary won it 344-93.

Now on to the general in November!
