5th Congressional District Larson?
I thought Newington was the Nancy Johnson vs Chris Murphy race. Why was John Larson on my ballot today? Am I confused?

1. Newington is in the first congressional district.

2. Apparently it's got two districts
They pushed me to the 5th district and that's where my name is listed. There were two tables. Isn't that odd. We must be split into two districts. I wanted to vote for Murphy I'm actually really disappointed.

3. I lived there most of my life and did not that. Are you over by
the New Britain or Berlin line? At least Larson is a good congressman.

4. My polling place
was plit into two districts. The First and the Fifth. I just called the Town Clerk and was informed that those are the CT districts, which is different from the Federal districts. I think she said I was district 1. Which is indeed John Larson's. District 9 is Nancy Johnson's district. Sheesh how confusing. I live closer towards Berlin than Wethersfied, West Hartford, New Britain, or Hartford. So I guess that makes me on the south side of town. John Larson got my vote. I was happy to vote for him, but I thought I could give Murphy a hand. Oh well.

5. Larsen
holds frequent town hall meetings in his district.

I've gone to West Hartford and Newington Town Halls to see him.

I find him to be decent and approachable and he works very hard to hear what people in his district have to say. I highly reccomend going to a town hall session of his, which aren't the best advanced publicized events in the world!
