Former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin beat out Rep. John Larson (D-CT) on Tuesday evening, delivering a stunning blow to a longtime representative as Democratic voters continue to push out older lawmakers.
Bronin, 47, brought in 54% of the vote, compared to 78-year-old Larson’s 34% when the Associated Press called the race at 10 p.m. Bronin’s win comes as Democratic voters have increasingly shown a willingness to replace veteran lawmakers with younger challengers.
