Conn. Congressional members up for election Tuesday

Connecticut's Congressional delegation is up for election tomorrow.  

The candidates for the 4th Congressional District are Democratic incumbent Jim Himes and Republican former Darien First Selectman Jaime Stevenson.  They agree with a woman's right to chose and would stand against a national ban on abortion.  Each also say more has to be done to lower the cost of health care, but disagree over how to reach that goal.  Stevenson does not support lowering the age of Medicare and instead suggested slowly increasing the age.  She says people are working longer than in the past.  Himes supports lowering the age.  He says lowering the age of the population that will create downward pressure on the costs associated with the program.

Democratic incumbent Jahana Hayes is seeking a third term representing the 5th Congressional District and being challenged by Republican George Logan, a former state senator. Hayes currently sits on the House of Representatives committees for education, labor, and agriculture.  Logan is a government affairs official for a water company in Connecticut.
