The policy-heavy debate was the only one of the campaign that was live with an audience. The forum held at the Hartford Public Library had familiar refrains and pitches from Tuesday night’s debate, hosted by WTNH News 8. And like the previous night’s debate, Larson and Bronin took aim at one another on some occasions, while Gilchrest and Fortune doled out ample criticism of both men. Both Larson and Bronin are well-financed and have been dominating the airwaves in the final weeks before the primary. She did so at another point in the debate when the candidates were asked to discuss environmental policy.
