The Registrars of Voters on Thursday released the tally sheets for all 12 Representative Town Meeting districts in Tuesday’s municipal election.
On Wednesday afternoon a civic alert with unofficial results inadvertently was released and was canceled after the Registrars said it had been mistakenly released by the Town Clerk before being finalized.
The top of each official tally sheet released Thursday indicates the number of seats in the district and in districts there were more voters than spots available there are triple asterisks *** by the names of those who failed to get enough votes for a seat.
The RTM is nonpartisan. The 230-member citizen body has powers including approving town expenditures over $5,000, acting on town budgets and deciding whether to accept federal or state funds for projects. The members are elected, but the body itself operates without party affiliation.
The top overall vote-getters in the RTM were incumbents, State Representative Hector Arzeno who represents CT’s 151th district and State Rep Steve Meskers who represents CT’s 150th district.
In RTM District 8 Arzeno had 1,057 votes.
In RTM District 6, Meskers had 1,043 votes.
Arzeno said in an email on Thursday, “I am honored and grateful for the trust given to me by the voters, and will work tirelessly to listen and advance in the RTM all the issues that are priorities in District 8 and our Town.”
Meskers sent an email saying, “I’m grateful to the support of the community and look forward to my continued service both in the state house and as a member of the RTM.”
Other notable wins include RTM incumbent James Waters who currently chairs the Budget Overview Committee. He was the second highest vote-getter in district 12, with 789 votes (Barbara Hindman had 862 votes).
In an email Waters wrote Thursday in his personal capacity, “I’m overwhelmed at the support voters showed for the Bipartisan Coalition all across town. We have some great new additions as well as returning members, and I’m hopeful the RTM will continue down the constructive, non-partisan path we’ve demonstrated this past term. Voters wanted full accountability for the recent, ill-advised cut to the school budget and that shows in the vote totals for both the BET and the RTM. Now it’s time for all of us to get to work to move things forward.”
Some notable losses include the current and past Republican Town Committee chairs, Mike Hahn and Jerry Cincotta, both write-ins in District 5.
Lucia Jansen, who was formerly the RTM’s Budget Overview Committee chair before being elected to the town’s Board of Estimate and Taxation, was one of five candidates in district 7 who failed to earn enough votes.
Jansen, who was not endorsed by her party to run for a second term on BET, joined a slate that ran in a September BET BET primary. Her slate was defeated by an alternate slate endorsed by First Selectman Fred Camillo.
But on election day, the Republican BET slate members were lower vote-getters, and the Democrats earned the chairmanship of that board along with its tie-breaking vote.
