5th Congressional District Larson? |
|
I thought Newington was the Nancy Johnson vs Chris Murphy race. Why was John Larson on my ballot today? Am I confused?

2. Apparently it's got two districts |
|
They pushed me to the 5th district and that's where my name is listed. There were two tables. Isn't that odd. We must be split into two districts. I wanted to vote for Murphy I'm actually really disappointed.

was plit into two districts. The First and the Fifth. I just called the Town Clerk and was informed that those are the CT districts, which is different from the Federal districts. I think she said I was district 1. Which is indeed John Larson's. District 9 is Nancy Johnson's district. Sheesh how confusing. I live closer towards Berlin than Wethersfied, West Hartford, New Britain, or Hartford. So I guess that makes me on the south side of town. John Larson got my vote. I was happy to vote for him, but I thought I could give Murphy a hand. Oh well.

holds frequent town hall meetings in his district.
I've gone to West Hartford and Newington Town Halls to see him.
I find him to be decent and approachable and he works very hard to hear what people in his district have to say. I highly reccomend going to a town hall session of his, which aren't the best advanced publicized events in the world!
