FITCHBURG — Republican Dean Tran won the special election Tuesday for the Worcester-Middlesex state Senate seat, according to unofficial election results.

Tran, the At-large Fitchburg city councilor, was elected over Leominster Democrat Sue Chalifoux Zephir by 607 votes out of the approximately 15,627 votes cast.

Tran celebrated with supporters at River Styx in Fitchburg. He attributed his win to his strategy of “visiting (voters) at their door step, and speaking to them on a personal level.”

As a new state senator, Tran said he will represent the district honestly and with integrity.

“I’m going to represent the people in this district the same way I’ve represented the people of Fitchburg,” he said.

Tran’s victory represents the first for Republicans this year.
