On this week’s episode of "Decision 2014," the focus turns to the 5th Congressional District.
Stretching from Farmington west to New York and north to Massachusetts, the district has been the race to watch over the last few election cycles, and this year is no different.
First-term Democratic Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty is being challenged by Litchfield businessman and Republican Mark Greenberg.
This is Greenberg’s third attempt at becoming the congressional representative from northwestern Connecticut.
He speaks with George Colli about what’s different this time around, the impact of being the first witness called in the federal trial of former Gov. John Rowland and how he would describe his position on guns to families in Newtown.
Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty sits down with Max Reiss and discusses the impact the tragedy in Newtown had on her first term and whether she will take a pledge against accepting the help of outside money.
Reiss will also wrap up the week that was in the Connecticut governor’s race, including the visit by former President Bill Clinton to New Haven.
