Rahman was nominated over veteran lawmaker Steve Cassano, who has been in politics for four decades, at the district convention back in May. On to the list! Check the map for your district to see who is running.ĭistrict 4: This is an open-seat race between Democrat MD Masudur Rahman and Republican Jacqueline Crespan, both of whom are immigrants and who have interesting life stories to share. This mostly means races in eastern Connecticut, which has been trending hard toward Republicans over the past decade. The last feature a race could have to be on this list is whether it’s in territory that is changing politically to a degree that elections are affected. This district has been close since flipping to Dems in 2018, so it’s included here. The 36th district, which is in Greenwich, Stamford, and New Canaan, flipped to the GOP during a special election in 2021. It hasn’t been competitive for any general election, though, so it is not included here. The 6th is usually a reliable Democratic district, but it flipped during a special election in 2019. Two seats flipped in 2020: the 17th district, which runs from Derby and Ansonia over to Woodbridge and Hamden, then up through Bethany and Beacon Falls to Naugatuck, and the 6th district, which is New Britain and Berlin. The second feature a race needs is if the seat flipped in 2020 or in a recent special election.
