THE VALLEY — Tuesday was Election Day.
The Valley Indy was live reporting results from 8 p.m. until about 12:15 a.m. Wednesday.
The Valley Indy YouTube stream below is importing results from the Connecticut Secretary of State. We’re concentrating on officials who represent Ansonia, Derby and Seymour.
Note: the top half of the screen has state House and state Senate results. The results cycle through every 20 seconds.
The bottom left side of the screen covers the governor’s race. It shows the total, then, after 20 seconds, shows how the candidates for governor did in the lower Naugatuck Valley.
The bottom right side of the screen shows results for the Third Congressional District.
The story continues after the embedded video. Press play to see the results.
Update: we’re also publishing the tallies in a list toward the end of this story.
Here’s what we reported (with updates as of 6 a.m. Wednesday).

“Tonight’s victory is a tremendous honor, and I am incredibly grateful to the voters of Seymour, Derby and Beacon Falls for once again putting their trust in me,” Klarides-Ditria said in a message to The Valley Indy. She defeated Josh Beaupre, her Democratic challenger. A newcomer to politics, Beaupre said the campaign was just the beginning.
District 105 includes Beacon Falls, Seymour and a part of Derby. Klarides-Ditria was first elected in 2016. This will be her sixth, two-year term.
State Rep. Kara Rochelle (D-Ansonia) was re-elected to her fifth term to represent Ansonia and Derby in state House District 104. She defeated her Republican challenger, Dan Sexton.
“We did it! Thank you so much to every single voter, every volunteer, everyone who cared enough to come out, get involved, and pitch in to make a difference,” Rochelle said in a statement. “It is incredibly humbling and a huge honor to be your public servant, advocate, and friend in the 104th.”
State Rep. Mary Welander, a Democrat who represents Derby, was re-elected to a fourth term, with the Associated Press projecting her as winner over her Republican opponent Brooke Hopkins at about 10:15 p.m. Tuesday.
State Sen. Eric Berthel, a Republican incumbent, defeated challenger Matt Knickerbocker, according to results posted on the Secretary of State’s election website. Berthel captured 52.9 percent of the vote to Knickerbocker’s 47.1 percent.
State Sen. Jorge Cabrera (D-Hamden), another incumbent representing the Valley, won re-election, capturing 61.8 percent of the vote. He defeated Republican John-Paul Dorais.
