Previously, incumbent State Representative Lucy Dathan sought the Democratic nomination for the 26th Senate district held by retiring State Senator Ceci Maher. However, she lost the Democratic endorsement for the district to Samantha Nestor, the First Selectwoman of Weston. Dathan soon withdrew and ran for re-election to her state house seat.
Jack Pavia and Tina Duryea, the two Democratic candidates who initially ran to succeed Dathan, immediately dropped out and endorsed her for re-election. As she won the party endorsement unanimously, she will face no competition in a primary.
