Issues Forum: U.S. Senate and 5th District House Contests

For everyone who feels the media never listens, now's your chance to give us your feedback about this year's elections:

From Luther Turmelle: 

Please join my colleagues and I at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at The Funky Monkey Café & Gallery, 130 Elm St. Help us prioritize the issues for in-depth coverage by the Register and our sister papers, the Middletown Press, Register Citizen in Torrington and Litchfield County Times.

My colleagues and I at the New Haven Register want to increase voter participation. We are polling the electorate and holding voter forums across New Haven County and Northwestern Connecticut to find out which issues you want a focus on coverage of the 2012 elections.

There will be a targeted focus where candidates are vying for open seats: the U.S. Senate and 5th District House contests.

We’ve met already with voters, civic and business groups in the Milford, New Haven and Torrington areas. I'll be there and I hope you will, too.
