Anne Hughes Gets a Primary.

State Representative Anne Hughes (D-Easton) will not enjoy an easy path to a second term serving the 135th House district. The far-left Easton Democrat is expected to face Weston Democrat Gayle Weinstein in an August primary.

Weinstein is the former Weston first selectman. She quit her seat on the board of selectman after failing to win a fourth term as first selectman in 2015.

Democratic town committees will choose delegates In March from Easton, Redding and Weston to select a party-endorsed nominee at a May nominating convention. Hughes defeated a one-term Republican incumbent in 2018.
