Healy Declares Victory In GOP 26th District Senate Primary

WILTON, CT — Kim Healy of Wilton has declared victory in the Republican primary for the 26th Senate District, defeating Will Duff of Bethel.

She will challenge Democratic Senator Will Haskell of Westport in November.

The 26th district consists of Westport, Wilton, Ridgefield, and Redding, and parts of Bethel, New Canaan and Weston.

The results from Tuesday's primary were delayed as absentee ballots were counted, following a deadline extension given by Gov. Ned Lamont in the wake of last week's tropical storm.

"We all must now turn toward the larger goal of defeating a first-term incumbent Democrat who has not advocated for the taxpayers, homeowners, businesses and municipalities of the seven towns he was elected to represent," Healy posted on her campaign website.

Healy is a CPA and was an auditor for PriceWaterhouseCoopers. She was the treasurer of the Wilton Youth Council and has been involved with her children’s schools, Minks to Sinks, and Wilton's Warrior Helpers.
