Redding Election Results 2019: Vote Totals for Each Race
First Selectman Julia Pemberton, who was endorsed by both the Democratic and Republican parties, was uncontested and reelected Tuesday.
REDDING, CT — The hallmark of many of the Election Day contests in Redding is that there wasn't a contest. First Selectman Julia Pemberton, who was endorsed by both the Democratic and Republican parties, sailed to an uncontested fourth term. Likewise, Michele R. Grande, W. Wesley Higgins and Patricia J. Moisio were endorsed by both parties and ran unchallenged for positions as town clerk, town treasurer and tax collector, respectively. Democrat Peg O'Donnell and Republican Michael P. Thompson both ran for selectman, but there are more than two openings available, so they were both a lock as well. Democrats Kimberly A. Yonkers and Republican Jenifer Wyss skated into their positions on the Redding Board of Finance, as they were the only candidates for the two openings.
