(Editor's Note: Some candidates were on the ballot multiple times, which is why you may see two or even three numbers included next to a candidate's name. Also note, that several candidates involved multiple towns, and the numbers below reflect Newington alone. Once full results are in for all towns, we'll note the overall winner.
