3 articles · Updated · Patch · Aug 10

Summary

  • Tuesday’s Democratic primary pits party-endorsed Rep. Maryam Khan, incumbent Sen. Douglas McCrory and Board of Education President Ayana Taylor for the 2nd Senate District nomination.
  • The winner becomes the Democratic nominee for the Nov. 3 general election in a district spanning parts of Windsor, Hartford and Bloomfield.
  • Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. for registered Democrats, with the Senate race appearing only on Windsor ballots in districts 1 through 6; District 7 voters will not see it.
  • Khan is running on school support, affordability and health care, while McCrory emphasizes his Capitol experience and education agenda; Taylor has centered school funding, equity and local input.
  • McCrory’s campaign unfolds amid a federal criminal investigation and state audit tied to grants connected to the former Blue Hills Civic Association, though he has denied wrongdoing and has not been accused of a crime.
