Donovan Ad Addresses Campaign Controversy

Fifth District

Chris Donovan (D): Donovan has a new televison ad out, which finally speaks to the arrests of two of his campaign aides, reports the Connecticut Mirror. It is Donovan's first use of paid media to address the scandal. In it, Donovan seeks to distance himself from the campaign workers and others who were arrested in the ongoing political scandal and touts his record of helping others. He says the scandal represents "everything that's wrong" with politics and is exactly the kind of thing he's fought against during his political career.

Andrew Roraback (R): The Hartford Courant has endorsed Roraback for Connecticut's Fifth Congressional District primary.

Senate

Chris Murphy (D): In response to Susan Bysiewicz defending her television ad accusing Murphy of accepting more contributions from Wall Street than any other Demcoratic candidate, Murphy criticized his Democratic rival's campaign ethics, . 

"I've never seen a candidate intentionally and willfully lie over and over again after she's been called to the carpet for it...The increasingly clear difference between Susan Bysiewicz and I is that she's wiling to say and do anything in order to get elected and ultimately I think voters are seeing that clearer than they're seeing any attack she's lobbing at me," he said. 

Linda McMahon (R): McMahon has received the most personal attacks going into the primary, according to Fox News. They say that the jabs at her wealth and political skills have been even worse than during the 2010 campaign.
