Delegates for the Republican convention gathered at the Torrington City Hall to nominate Attorney James Steck who is seeking a second term as the current Judge of Probate. There were no other nominations and the convention went smoothly. Delegates from the towns of Barkhamsted, Colebrook, Goshen, Hartland, New Hartford, Torrington and Winchester voted unanimously to support Judge Steck to remain in his elected position. State Representative Joe Canino (R-65) attended to show his support, as well as current Barkhamsted RTC Chairman Amanda North and former Chair Juliana Simone. Steck told delegates how rewarding the job has been and detailed the many ways he has helped his constituents.
