Luke Bronin defeated Hartford's incumbent Mayor Pedro Segarra in Wednesday's primary.

Connecticut is waking up on Thursday learning who the nominees are for important mayors’ jobs around the state. And it's a little bit of a surprise. All three Democratic incumbents in Bridgeport, Hartford, and New London lost their respective races.

This hour, our primary election coverage will continue with a special Thursday edition of our weekly political news roundtable The Wheelhouse. We fill you in on who won in some of the big races in Connecticut’s cities and towns and which losers vow to keep going until November.
