Connecticut Republicans hope to break Democrat lock on House

Connecticut Republicans are hoping to unseat at least one of the state's five incumbent Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday. The Connecticut delegation hasn't included a GOP member in more than a decade.

The national GOP is enthusiastic about its chances to flip Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District, which includes parts of northwestern and central Connecticut. It’s currently represented by two-term Democratic U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes, a former National Teacher of the Year. Outside groups have spent more than $7 million on the race. Her Republican challenger is former state Sen. George Logan.
