State Senator Norm Needleman (D-33rd) has been re-elected to the position of Essex First Selectman.
ESSEX — Incumbent First Selectman Norman Needleman (D) cruised to victory in Tuesday’s election with more than twice the number of votes of his opponent, Matthew Fleming (R). Needleman also serves as the State Senator for the 33rd CT District. His running mate, incumbent selectman Stacia Rice-Libby, also won easily to retain her seat on the board of selectmen.
The third seat on the board will be taken by Bruce Glowac (R), who like Rice-Libby is also an incumbent, thus keeping board members exactly the same as prior to the election.
