Congrats! I don’t live in the 5th, but hoped she would win. This was the only Congressional seat in the state that was open in the D side. I noticed there are several people of color running for offices in CT, mainly as Democrats. It’s refreshing to see this.
I’m in the 5th and am still doing a happy dance. She’s the real deal.
Another white male defeated by a candidate who is neither. This is so very wonderful.
“Dead on arrival” more like.
A throng of really interesting women in this year’s race.
They persisted.
I used to live in the 5th and I never liked Esty. This makes me even happier than when she announced she was stepping down.
I’m with you entirely about Esty. I’m just happy to see CT finally, finally, shoving at least some of the good old boys in the Dem. machine here (and it is a machine) aside. That’s a massive sea change. The gov. race is in play but I’m banking on a blue wave.
and here we go:

I first came across her when I saw her in an interview on MSNBC. I don’t even remember who was interviewing her because she was so captivating. I’m really rooting for her.
I saw the same (or a similar) interview. She’s terrific.
