Larson’s leading challenger is former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin, who won the state’s Democratic Party endorsement earlier this year. Bronin has said that the Democratic Party’s reluctance to embrace generational change, including Biden’s failed reelection campaign, was the leading factor in his decision to challenge Larson. Other candidates running for the congressional seat are state Rep. Jillian Gilchrist, 44, and Ruth Fortune, 38, a lawyer who immigrated to the U.S. from Haiti. Separately, the only statewide race on Tuesday is the Democratic primary for governor. Ned Lamont is seeking a third term against state Rep. Josh Elliott, 41, who is running left of Lamont.
