Connecticut’s presidential primaries on February 5th.
“Today marks the beginning of an exciting election season in Connecticut,” said
Bysiewicz. “Voters will have lots of choices when they go to the polls in February
so I encourage all voters to start educating themselves about the candidates now.”
The following Republican candidates will have their names on the ballot (order
