Capitol Report: Joe Courtney’s seat is ripe for GOP pickup

May 16, 2022

Is Joe Courtney the most vulnerable Democrat in Connecticut? WTNH’s Capitol Report suggests he might be.

Radio host Lee Elci noted this weekend that Courtney – seeking his 9th term in office – “has been there for a long time” with a “unique ability to fly completely under the radar.”

And this cycle, he’s facing a strong GOP opponent in “the reddest part of the state.”

NRCC Comment: “Democrats have had total power in Washington for over a year and their constant failures are creating prime GOP pickup opportunities in Connecticut.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock
