Matt Lesser wins 100th District seat

The Middletown Eye reports:

In a surprise upset, Democratic challenger Matt Lesser unseated Congressman Ray Kalinowski, winning 51% of the votes in the district. His victory was made possible only by virtue of an overwhelming 67% mandate in the Middletown districts, which compensated for losing margins in Middlefield and Durham.
Overall, the results indicate that Dems swept Middletown. Check
