A jubilant Marilyn Moore, of Bridgeport, upset incumbent Anthony Musto, of Trumbull, on Tuesday in a Democratic primary in the 22nd state Senate race.

An unofficial tally appeared to give Moore the advantage.

The district covers all of Trumbull, and portions of Bridgeport and Monroe.

“Look what we did,” Moore, 65, shouted as dozens of campaign workers around her erupted into cheers and group hugs. “Can you believe it?”

…….

Among Anthony’s many “reliable” accomplishments were delaying a vote to raise Connecticut’s minimum wage.

Connecticut’s Working Families celebrate!

Congratulations to the primary winners!

To all the candidates who won their primaries and made it through to the general election last night: congratulations!

We’re particularly proud of the candidates we endorsed who worked so hard to win their races. In all, we backed 7 candidates, and 6 of them won last night.

In two of the most watched primaries of the night, Working Families backed candidates prevailed: Marilyn Moore, challenged sitting State Senator Anthony Musto, and State Senator Eric Coleman faced a challenge from Hartford City Council President Shawn Wooden. Both faced very difficult, very close races. Both came out on top.
