We came very close to electing a conservative in the New Haven-based CT-03 in 1990 (DeLauro’s first election); Scott lost by, what, 3%?
Any Republican elected in that district would’ve lost in 1992 (like DeNardis did in 1982).

4 points. hard to imagine a close race in that district.
So this Scott guy was a State Senator, and ran for Governor in ‘94?
Our campaigns is confused because a same name rat ran against him for State Senate in 1988. They have the ‘88 rat running against De Lauro in 1990 and the State Senator running in 1992 (and getting crushed). I assume this is an error.
