Fairfield, CT – Unofficial results from today’s GOP Caucus are in, showing Robert Bellitto, Jr., Fairfield’s Board of Finance Vice Chairman, has captured the Republican nomination to run for First Selectman in the November elections.

Approximately ten percent of Fairfield’s registered Republican voters visited the polls Tuesday to choose nominees for the positions of First Selectman, Selectman, Town Clerk, Board of Finance, Board of Education, Board of Assessment Appeals and other key offices.

Overall, 937 Republicans voted. As of 10:45pm Monday evening, unofficial results for the First Selectman race, obtained from David Becker’s office, showed Bellitto with 493 votes, Becker (a Representative Town Meeting member) with 376 and 20-year veteran Fairfield firefighter Hugh Dolan with 68 votes.

Results had not yet been made available on the balance of town leadership positions in play.
