Former Hartford mayor ousts Larson in Connecticut House primary

Luke Bronin, the ex-mayor of Hartford, has bested long-time incumbent Rep. John Larson in the Connecticut House primary, setting the stage for a significant general election showdown in November. Larson, who's held his seat since 1998, faced stiff competition from three other Democrats. This upset highlights the changing political landscape and could have broader implications for Democratic control of the House, as Bronin positions himself as a fresh face against the backdrop of long-term incumbent politics.
