The start of the 2023 Legislative Session welcomed 36 new members of the Connecticut General Assembly, Wednesday morning. In the House, 17 democrats and 11 republicans took their seats on the chamber floor for the first time, and in the Senate, five new democrats and three republicans did the same.
In this election cycle, six state House races in central Connecticut are for open seats, giving voters in 10 communities a choice between newcomer candidates. Political analysts generally consider an open race more of a toss-up than one in which a challenger must overcome the advantages held by an incumbent.
