Senate

Democratic candidate Chris Murphy released a defense against Republican opponent Linda McMahon's current ad. Her ad accuses Murphy of being too absent in Congress during the 2008 financial crisis. 

Second District

Joseph Courtney (D): Courtney this week reaffirmed his support for Social Security in a Facebook posting:

"Happy 77th birthday, Social Security. I am committed to preserving Social Security's promise for future generations so seniors can retire with dignity."

Paul Formica (R): In his own posting Formica, who won the Republican primary this week to challenge Courtney, noted a new study showing low approval for Congress among voters and promising change if elected.

"We need a new Congressman who will put Main Street before K Street. I am that common sense leader who will be an independent voice for the Second Congressional District."
