“In District Eighteen, State Rep. George Lambert defeated Manchester Ward Six School Committeewoman Robyn Dunphy by fourteen points in something of a surprise. District eighteen is Manchester wards five through nine and the town of Litchfield. Critics of Dunphy said her failure to oppose the Manchester School District’s rewrite of the Common Core national standards in education hurt her given Lambert’s strong opposition. Lambert squares off against incumbent Donna Soucy.”
