Segarra Wins Thumping Victory in Hartford. Endorsed Slate Prevails.

Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra has won a landslide victory over challenger Edwin Vargas, a former teachers union leader, in the city’s low-turnout Democratic primary.  Segarra became mayor in the summer of 2010 when incumbent Eddie Perez resigned after he was convicted of corruption.

Segarra, who received more than 2/3 of the vote, was at the top of a slate endorsed by the party organization at a summer convention.  All endorsed candidates were victorious tonight.
