Former Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra has been asked to consider a run for the Republican nomination for the 5th Congressional District seat.  Llodra told the Newtown Bee that she is intrigued and won't rule anything out.  But the 75-year old retired last year to spend more time with her grandchildren.  The congressional race is wide open following Democratic incumbent Elizabeth Esty announcing that she would not seek reelection amid the controversy over her handling of a harassment complaint involving her former chief of staff.
