CONNECTICUT, USA — The most senior and junior members of Connecticut’s all-Democratic delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives are both facing aggressive Republican challengers.

 Rep. Rosa DeLauro is seeking a 16th term representing south-central Connecticut and is running TV ads for the first time in recent memory.

 Newcomer opponent Margaret Streicker has raised about $816,000. More than half of that comes from her own pocket. 

Rep. Jahana Hayes is seeking a second term and faces David X. Sullivan. He's a former federal prosecutor who has tried to link her to “extreme Far-Left Democrats."
