Winner Declared In Stratford Democratic Primary Election

STRATFORD, CT — Incumbent Democratic state Senator Dennis Bradley lost his primary challenge against Herron Gaston in the 23rd District in Tuesday’s election, according to the Connecticut Post.

Bradley, who is currently serving his second term, failed to receive the party’s nomination and challenged Gaston – the endorsed candidate. Bradley was indicted last year on federal charges in connection with a campaign fund scheme, according to authorities. He has denied wrongdoing as he awaits trial.

The 23rd Senatorial District includes part of Stratford and about half of Bridgeport.

The Post reports Bradley first declared victory around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, but conceded soon after 11 p.m.
