Election 2024: Northwest Corner voting results

Voters in Northwest Connecticut mostly chose Vice President Kamala Harris (D) over former president Donald J. Trump (R) in the Nov. 5 election.

Congressional incumbents Senator Chris Murphy (D) and Representative Jahana Hayes (D-5) enjoyed widespread support in the Region One towns of Cornwall, Canaan/Falls Village, Kent, Salisbury and Sharon.

North Canaan was the exception in the presidential race with Trump beating Harris 725 to 667. Murphy topped the GOP’s Matthew Corey in North Canaan 748 to 642, and Hayes prevailed over Republican George Logan 720 to 675.

Hayes won reelection by defeating Logan 53.4% to 46.6% (169,426 votes to 147,691) in the 5th Congressional District.

Murphy carried the state against Corey 58.3% to 41.5% (958,059 to 657,606).

Harris won the state decisively, 56.1% to Trump’s 40% (949,251 votes to 713,875).

State Representative Maria Horn (D-64) won a fourth term handily over Republican Barbara Breor. With 99% of the votes reported, Horn was leading 63.73% to 35.3%, or 9,508 to 5,181.

On Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 6, Justin Potter (D) called State Senator Stephen Harding (R-30) to congratulate him on winning reelection. As of Nov. 7, Connecticut Secretary of State reports Harding's vote total at 20,364 (53.2%) to Potter's 17,915 (46.8%).

Harding issued a statement Nov. 7 after the Connecticut State Senate Republican Caucus tapped him to remain as senate minority leader for the next two years: “I am so honored to have this opportunity to continue to lead this incredible Senate Republican Caucus.”

This story was reported from results from the Associated Press and from North Canaan's registrars of voters. (Updated with Connecticut Secretary of State results on Nov. 7 10:35 a.m.)
