Republican U.S. Rep. candidate Sam Caligiuri has attained "Young Guns" status and his opponent, incumbent Democrat Chris Murphy, couldn't be happier.
Murphy's campaign manager, Kenny Curran, says Caligiuri's endorsement from party poobahs in DC is "yet another sign that Caligiuri's talk about being a different kind of politician couldn't be further from the truth.
"While Caligiuri has been busy courting Washington, DC Republicans, Chris is continuing to do his job the only way he knows - going out and listening to the people he represents and fighting to put Connecticut's economy back on track. After all, it's Connecticut's votes that count on Election Day, not DC's," Curran said via email.
