State Rep. William Tong, D-Stamford, became the first Asian-American member of the General Assembly when he was elected in 2006.
Tong, who won another term yesterday, is pleased he will no longer be the only Asian-American heading up to the capitol in Hartford when the legislature reconvenes in January.
New Rep. Tony Hwang of Bridgeport is one of the state Republican Party’s few success stories, defeating incumbent Tom Christiano, D-Trumbull.
Tong called Hwang “a nice guy.”
“It is neat. It really is,” he said.
