Early returns showed state Sen. Sam Caligiuri, the convention-endorsed 5th Congressional District candidate in Tuesday's primary, in a tight race against challengers Justin Bernier and Mark Greenberg -- with the district's big cities, including Caligiuri's presumed hometown stronghold of Waterbury, yet to report their results.
Unofficial tallies as of 9:06 p.m. were: Caligiuri 2,145, Bernier 2,004, and Greenberg 1,885.
