Longtime Dem Rep John Larson ousteds by progressive upstart Mayor Luke Bronin in primary

Longtime Democratic Representative John Larson was ousted from office after a tough primary challenge from upstart progressive Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin. Larson, who has served in Congress since the Clinton administration, met his match in the hard-fought primary race. The 14-term representative's defeat marks a significant shift in Connecticut's delegation and could have implications for future Democratic leadership. Bronin's surprise victory signals a new wave of progressive politics in the state.
