As of Wednesday, Aug. 12, morning, Republican Thomas Gilmer, who had dropped out of the race on Monday, Aug. 10, was leading Justin Anderson by just a handful of votes:
Gilmer: 7,875
Anderson: 7,797
Gilmer, 29, of Madison, was arrested Monday, Aug. 10, and charged with first-degree unlawful restraint and second-degree strangulation, police said.
The Connecticut GOP confirmed Aug. 11 that Gilmer had been arrested and dropped out of the race.
