Stories about elections, formation of government, congressional delegation, state legislation, and the impact of federal legislation on Connecticut.
U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro would rather talk about e-cigarettes, women’s wages, and health care. But first there’s this impeachment business — a topic she now feels Congress can no longer ignore.
Rep. Jim Himes' role on the House Intelligence Committee has thrust the lawmaker into the center of the Trump impeachment inquiry.

My name is Jon Petoskey and I am a candidate of the Town Council. I am a husband, father, and community leader. I am Native American, our tribe’s headquarters is in beautiful Petoskey, Michigan.

I considered myself a Reagan Democrat as a life-long independent until the last presidential election when I registered with the Republican Party to vote against the eventual nominee. Unaffiliated voters are the ones I feel closest to.
