Democrats claimed victory Tuesday night in the special election in the 144th House District of Stamford, holding onto a seat that Democrat Caroline Simmons wrested from Republicans in 2014.
Democrat Hubert Douglas Delany outpolled Republican Danny Melchionne for the seat Simmons vacated after her election as mayor in November. Unofficial results showed him winning with nearly 56% of the vote.
Turnout was 18.9%.
Neither candidate has held elective office.
Voters in the 71st Assembly District will head to the polls on Feb. 22 to chose for a candidate to fill the unexpired term of Rep. Anthony J. D’Amelio, one of four lawmakers to step down in recent months.
