Somers Municipal Election 2017 Results: Knorr Wins Convincingly

SOMERS, CT — After winning a party primary and then a subsequent challenge, Republican incumbent first selectman C.G. "Bud" Knorr pulled of an electoral hat trick on Tuesday by overwhelmingly maintaining the town's top elected office.
