Connecticut held a special election on January 13 to fill the vacancy in the State House, 139th district.  The results:  Democratic 61.91%; Republican 28.45%; Independent Party 7.06%; Working Families 2.58%.

In November 2024, the results had been:  Democratic 50.74%; Republican 45.33%; Independent Party 1.34%; Working Families 2.59%.

In both elections, the Working Families Party nominated the Democratic nominee.

The January 2026 results for the Independent Party were very impressive, because its nominee, Mark Adams, was a write-in candidate.  He had expected to be on the ballot because the Independent Party was ballot-qualified in that district, but the Secretary of State kept him off the ballot due to a paperwork error.
