Monroe Election Results 2022: Kelly Projected To Beat Green

MONROE, CT —The polls are closed in Monroe and the vote counting is (mostly) complete in several key federal and state races, including the office of governor, U.S. Senator, Congress, and local state representatives.

Incumbent Rep. Jim Himes was projected to win the 4th Congressional District, according to the Associated Press.

Republican Sen. Kevin Kelly won his re-election to the 21st State Senate District, defeating Stratford resident Christopher Green, Hearst CT reported. Kelly, the state Senate Republican Leader since 2019, ran unopposed in 2020.

The Connecticut Post reports that State Sen. Marilyn Moore, a Democrat, was the projected winner in the 22nd Senate District race and has defeated Independent Party candidate Wilfredo Martinez. Final vote numbers have not yet been released.

Incumbent Republican Tony Scott was projected to defeat Democratic newbie Sheila Papps for 112th Assembly District representative. The Middletown Press reported that Papps didn't plan to concede "until all the votes were in.

In the earliest call of the evening, two-term Sen. Richard Blumenthal was the projected winner in his contest with Republican Leora Levy.

Levy said she called Blumenthal to concede and wished him well in the next six years. She said she would continue to work for a more prosperous and safer America.

At the top of the ticket. Gov. Ned Lamont declared victory Tuesday in the governor race. His Republican opponent, Bob Stefanowski, said he would wait until the morning for more results.

Voters will also get to decide whether the state should allow early voting. The question on the ballot is: "Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to permit the General Assembly to provide for early voting?"
