Fuck Fuck Fuck - Now my state senator is a Repug. [View all]

Republican Paul Formica has defeated Democrat Betsy Ritter for the 20th District state Senate seat.

Formica outpolled Ritter in every town in the district, with New London’s numbers still outstanding, for an unofficial lead of 15,023-10,241. Formica won in his hometown of East Lyme and Ritter’s hometown of Waterford.

If Formica wins it would be the first time in a quarter century the 20th District will be represented by a Republican.

The last time a Republican represented the district was 1990 when the late Lawrence J. Bettencourt was elected. He served a single two-year term before being replaced by Democrat Melodie Peters, who held the job until Democrat Andrea Stillman succeeded her a decade ago.

And Ritter's seat also became Republican.
