第14任任期的康涅狄格州民主党众议员约翰·拉尔森在周二激烈的初选中败给了哈特福德市长卢克·布罗宁。
拉尔森自克林顿政府时期就开始在国会任职，此次面临三名挑战者：布罗宁、州众议员吉利安·吉尔克里斯特以及哈特福德教育委员会成员露丝·福琼。该范围广阔的选区包括哈特福德、格拉斯顿伯里、布里斯托尔和温莎洛克。
本届国会早些时候，在一项为众议院议员提供狗狗币获取财政部支付信息的法案审议期间，拉尔森对同僚大发雷霆并怒吼：
“你们只会照着埃隆·马斯克和唐纳德·特朗普的吩咐行事。委员会的独立性在哪里？立法机构的独立性在哪里？我们是政府的平等分支，”拉尔森吼道，“看看这里空着的座位。埃隆·马斯克在哪里？”

拉尔森在任职期间经常批评马斯克和总统唐纳德·特朗普，尤其在委内瑞拉领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗被捕并被引渡后，提出了十多篇弹劾条款。
在那次事件中，拉尔森指责特朗普犯有海盗行为等罪行。就在这场弹劾运动期间，拉尔森面临着年轻的布罗宁的初选挑战。
布罗宁也曾在奥巴马政府任职，随着这一年的推进，他似乎正在追赶现任议员拉尔森。他以寻求在长期由民主党掌控的席位中实现世代更替的候选人身份参选。

自埃德温·梅 Jr. 共和党-康涅狄格州众议员在艾森豪威尔政府时期任职以来，第一选区就从未有过共和党议员。
吉尔克里斯特被认为是进步派人士，同时支持堕胎权。
福琼被认为是主要候选人中筹款最少的，她的竞选活动以教育为核心。

WATCH: House Dem clashes with Fox reporter over socialist candidates’ threat to Jeffries speakership
Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., got into a heated exchange with Fox News’ Chad Pergram over whether the DSA-affiliated candidates who won in New York City’s primaries could create headaches for House Democrats and a possible Speaker Hakeem Jeffries.

Fourteen-term Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., met his match in Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin during Tuesday’s hard-fought primary race.
Larson, who has served in Congress since the Clinton administration, faced three challengers: Bronin, state Rep. Jillian Gilchrest and Hartford Education Board member Ruth Fortune. The sprawling district includes Hartford, Glastonbury, Bristol and Windsor Locks.
Earlier this term, during a markup of legislation providing House members with DOGE access to Treasury payment information, Larson erupted at his colleagues and began yelling:
“You will do whatever Elon Musk and Donald Trump tell you to do. Where’s the independence of the committee? Where’s the legislature? We’re an equal branch of government,” Larson yelled. “Look at the empty seats here. Where’s Elon Musk?”

Larson has routinely criticized Musk and President Donald Trump during his tenure, notably filing more than a dozen articles of impeachment following the arrest and extraction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
In that case, Larson accused Trump of piracy and other offenses. The impeachment push came as Larson faced a primary challenge from the younger Bronin.
Bronin, who also served in the Obama administration, appeared to be gaining on incumbent Larson as the year went on. He ran as a candidate seeking generational change in a longtime Democratic seat.

The First District has not seen a Republican lawmaker since Rep. Edwin May Jr., R-Conn., who served during the Eisenhower administration.
Gilchrest is considered a progressive who also is also pro-choice abortion rights.
Fortune, considered the lowest-funded major candidate, ran an education-focused campaign.
