Second District
Paul Formica (R) has called on Joseph Courtney (D) to debate. On his Facebook page today Formica's campaign manager, John Kleinhans, issued the following statement:
"Congressman Courtney’s unwillingness to debate the issues of the Second Congressional District is appalling. He has yet to hold a town hall meeting this year, and declined a debate proposed by the Morgan High School Political Club."
Senate
Linda McMahon (R): Connecticut Democrats used racy footage from the WWE, where McMahon was CEO, to highlight the violence and sex sometimes featured by the wrestling company. The footage was made into an anti-McMahon ad which has since been taken down due to copyright infringement, reports The Huffington Post.
Chris Murphy (D): An opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal says Democrats are “hopping mad” about McMahon’s campaign.
“Connecticut hasn't been at the top of the radar screen, as most politicos have been watching bigger swing states. But despite their indignation about Ms. McMahon's negative advertising, worried Democrats are now launching their own barrage. The Connecticut Mirror newspaper reports that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which hadn't originally budgeted money for the race, recently aired an ad attacking Ms. McMahon for her employment policies when she was CEO of the WWE.”
