In other Connecticut races
Democratic voters chose New Haven Mayor John DeStefano to challenge Gov. Jodi Rell (R) in November. DeStefano, who defeated Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy for his party's gubernatorial nod, faces an uphill battle in trying to unseat the incumbent Republican governor. In the state's only contested primary for a House seat, Scott MacLean defeated Miriam Massulo for the GOP nomination and will meet Rep. John Larson (D) in November. Larson easily won re-election in 2004, and Kerry defeated Bush by 21 percentage points in that district that same year.
