Here are the results of the race to succeed Christopher Murphy in Congress:
Dems- Elizabeth Esty defeated state House Speaker Christopher Donovan, who had ethics problems, with Dan Roberti finishing third. In a sad event, Roberti’s mother passed away Saturday night.

Repub- Republicans have a chance at winning, as RINO state Senator Andrew Roarback won a competitive, four-candidate primary. If elected, he’ll return the district to the liberal Republicanism of its previous GOP Congressmen (Chris Shays, Stewart McKinney, and Lowell Weicker). You’ve heard of needing a noseplug to vote for some candidates? We’ll I’d need a barfbag for this one, but I’d do it anyway.

Esty winning the rat primary is as bad as the RINO winning ours (we did NOT need him, especially if Donavan had won the rat primary)
Roraback won in CT-05, which was the CT-06 until 2002 and used to be held by RINO Nancy Johnson. RINOs Shays, McKinney and Lowell were from the CT-04.
