primary elections in CT are all theoretical
Making a primary real is up to you
In Connecticut, a primary against a Congressional incumbent has never reached the ballot.
In Connecticut, Congressional challengers must gather more signatures to qualify for a primary than Senators in all other states. That is not symbolism. That is a gate, which has never been crossed.
If you want a conversation about the future of Connecticut and America to exist, in this moment of prolonged and profound national crisis, the first step is allowing one to happen, in public. That is what a primary is.
You do not need to agree with every idea here to support the basic principle that young people deserve a future worth building and voters deserve a real choice.
That is what petitions, and the pledges that precede them, are for.

Stay in the conversation
If you want to follow along as this develops:
We will update periodically on pledge counts.
We are going to be going door-to-door starting January 19, 2026 to solicit pledges and are looking for other people willing to do the same.
We will periodically share summaries of what we are hearing from the district.
You do not need to agree with every idea to participate. This is not about consensus. It is about seriousness.
