U.S. House races for all five Connecticut districts are listed as printed on official Secretary of the State sample ballots (one town per district). These are sample ballots, not the final certified candidate list, so this is partial. Some candidates also appear on the Working Families or Independent lines of the sample ballot. No U.S. Senate race is printed on the sample ballots we read.

They answer different questions and are kept apart. Full method: Methodology.
