Campaign Notebook: Independent Party Backs McMahon

Senate

Linda McMahon (R): Despite a rift in the Independent Party in Connecticut, McMahon could appear on the election ballot under the party’s name. According to the Greenwich Time, both factions of the party endorsed McMahon.

Chris Murphy (D): A former Republican state legislator writes in the Hartford Courant that Murphy was sued for foreclosure before being elected to Congress. His campaign says that he “inadvertently missed a couple of mortgage payments” before sorting out the issue.
