While voters statewide continue to send Democrats back to Boston and Washington D.C. to serve in the Statehouse and the U.S. Congress, Republican voters in Southwick, Granville, and Tolland once again demonstrated why this area is considered one of the reddest in the state.
In every contested race on the ballot in Tuesday’s General Election, Republicans outpolled Democrats, including in the state Senate race to represent Berkshire County and the westernmost towns of Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties where the GOP candidate didn’t even live in the district.
While state Sen. Paul Mark cruised to an easy victory to represent the state’s largest district over Republican David Rosa, it was Rosa who outpolled Mark in Southwick, Granville and Tolland.
