Bragdon defeated state Sen. Ted Gatsas (R-Manchester), who was the Republican leader last legislative session. According to a press release, all 10 Republican state senators supported Bragdon's bid.

"I look forward to having the Senate Republicans work as a team along with the Democrats as we tackle some of the serious challenges facing the state," Bragdon said in a statement.
