District 50 GOP nominee Jadon MacCormack says "I will NEVER withdraw!" amid calls for him to exit the race over anti-LGBTQ comments. MacCormack used the attention to further promote his views advocating state-sanctioned execution for the LGBTQ community in a radio interview. The 50th District is a competitive seat on paper, having voted for Harris by about 2 points in 2024. State Sens. Jeff Gordon and Heather Somers are among the Republicans calling on him to drop out.

District 50 Republican State House Candidate Jadon MacCormack drew bipartisan condemnation for an anti-LGBTQ+ social media post. House Minority Leader Vincent J. Candelora says MacCormack should end his campaign, but MacCormack remains defiant saying his “principled mindset” is what the GOP needs. This is not the first time MacCormack has posted anti-LGBTQ content on social media. Reposting an article on the possible supreme court overturning of gay marriage last year, he posted a picture of a noose writing "the bible has a better idea".

Among current U.S. House members, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) has gone the longest without a contested primary. She didn't face one when she won her open seat in 1990, or any election since. Next are Rep. John Larson (CT-01) and Rep. Joe Courtney (CT-02). Larson's streak ends this year, as he faces his first primary since defeating Secretary of State Miles Rapoport in 1998 to win the open 1st District.

A panel with the state Democratic Party found that despite "legitimate procedural flaws" in the 3rd Congressional District Democratic convention, they will dismiss a complaint from challenger Andrew Rice. Rice said he will continue to gather signatures to petition, but is willing to take the issue to court if he can't get enough signatures by June 9th.

As the Democratic primaries for governor and the 1st Congressional District grow more personal, Connecticut is poised for a summer of negative advertising—an unusual development in the self-described "Land of Steady Habits."

State Rep. Josh Elliott's primary campaign against Gov. Ned Lamont targets the governor for not raising taxes on the wealthy and blames him as "the sole reason" many struggle to live in Connecticut. Elliott also argues Lamont's niceness is a liability: "Nice doesn't solve fascism."

A judge ruled yesterday that Democrat Harrison Amadasun should receive the South Windsor Town Council seat he won. Amadasun was denied the seat after voters approved a charter change on the same ballot capping majority-party seats at 5. The town clerk applied the new rule immediately, denying Amadasun the 6th Democratic seat, but he and council members argued it wasn't meant to take effect until 2027. The ruling shifts the council from 5D-4R to 6D-3R.

Rice told the New Haven Independent that he found delegates who attested they would have switched from DeLauro to him after the initial ballot. This unique rule of delegates being allowed to switch after the initial ballot allowed State Rep. Jillian Gilchrest to make the ballot in the 1st Congressional District. Gilchrest felt far short in the initial ballot, but a switch by Larson delegates in Manchester allowed her to exceed 15% of the delegate vote.

A state Democratic Party panel is weighing a possible redo of the 3rd Congressional District Democratic Convention after Andrew Rice pressed a complaint that delegates were not given 10 minutes to make a switch after the initial results. New Haven DTC Chair Vinnie Mauro conceded he did allow delegates time to switch, appoint a parliamentarian, or call for a vote for the adoption of the rules

State Rep. Josh Elliott exceeded the fundraising mark over the weekend needed to qualify for public financing against Governor Ned Lamont for the August Primary. His formal application is expected to be submitted next week. He will receive a $3,750,355 grant if he met the requirements according to state election regulators. The grant will allow Elliott to give his message to a larger audience against the popular governor.

Ruth Fortune told supporters last week that she is on track to exceed the 3,734 signature requirement to make the ballot against Rep. John Larson (CT-01). Fortune would be the first challenger to make the primary ballot against an incumbent by petitioning in the state's modern era. Fortune says she expects to need a buffer of signatures due to expected disqualifications, and is gathering more than necessary. If she succeeds, she will join a crowded field with Larson, Luke Bronin and Jillian Gilchrest on the ballot.
