MURPHY "MEET AND GREET " TONIGHT

The 7th Assembly District of the Hartford Democratic Town committee will be hosting a "Meet and Greet" for US Senate candidate Congressman Chris Murphy tonight . The event will be held from 5 to 8 PM at the Russian Lady Cafe at 191 Ann Ucello Street in Hartford.

Governor Dannel Malloy as well as other Democratic leaders from across the State will be attending to show their support for Chris Murphy . There is no charge for admission and a complimentary happy hour buffet will be served. Donations to the Murphy Campaign will gladly be accepted but are not required.

Use this opportunity to speak one on one with Chris and actually get to hear what he has to say without the hype and misleading advertisements.. If you are undecided, this is a good opportunity to get a better feel for the Democratic candidate to represent us in the US Senate.

McGEE WINS

 It looks like the results are in and political newcomer Brandon McGee has handily won a victory for the 5th District legislative seat, that had been the subject of court challenges and several recounts.  McGee had a substantial lead over union leader and Windsor Democratic Town Chair Leo Canty.  The numbers I was given as of about 10PM showed McGee with roughly a 150 vote lead over Canty.

It appears that all votes were cast by voters that were alive at the time. No deceased votes are in question at this time

Congratulations Brandon.
