Greenwich primary results: Lamont defeats Elliott, Goldstein wins Republican congressional nomination
Greenwich registrars of voters released results of Tuesday's Democratic and Republican primaries around 10:00pm, showing incumbent Democratic Governor Ned Lamont defeating primary challenger Josh Elliott 1,767 to 280 in Greenwich, while Republican Dr. Michael Goldstein defeated Daniel Miressi 730 to 138 for the GOP nomination in Connecticut's 4th Congressional District.
Statewide, Lamont also easily defeated Elliott, a State Representative from Hamden serving his fifth term. Elliott will remain on the November ballot as a candidate for reelection to the 88th House District.
Lamont, 72, is seeking a third four-year term as governor. He took office for his first term on January 9, 2019, and began his second term on January 4, 2023. According to the article, the only Connecticut governor to win a consecutive third term in the past 200 years was Republican John Rowland, who was elected to a third term in 2002 but resigned in 2004 amid a corruption scandal.
In the November general election, Lamont will face fellow Greenwich resident Ryan Fazio, 36, a Republican state senator for the 36th district.
Goldstein, a physician and attorney, will challenge 17-year Democratic incumbent Jim Himes in the November 3 general election. This will be Goldstein's third time challenging Himes for the 4th Congressional District seat.
In Connecticut's 1st Congressional District, 14-term incumbent Democratic Representative John Larson, who was seeking a 15th term, was defeated in the primary by Luke Bronin. The 1st district includes Bristol, Hartford, and Torrington and has been represented by Larson since 1999. Bronin largely grew up in Greenwich and previously served as Mayor of Hartford for two terms, from 2016 to 2024.
Unofficial statewide results were drawn from the Connecticut Secretary of the State website as of 5:00am on August 12, 2026.
