Democrat Jodi Lott and Republican Emma Griffith are vying for the seat, which Lodge vacated after moving to Old Lyme. His successor will serve through Dec. 1, 2027.
Lott and Griffith have both cited artificial intelligence and student screen time among their concerns for the district. Read more about their backgrounds and priorities in LymeLine’s Oct. 26 report.
