GOSHEN, CT – The Goshen Democratic Town Committee has endorsed former State Representative Elizabeth Esty in the race for the Democratic nomination to represent Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District.
“We want a pragmatic, hardworking candidate who won’t be beholden to special interests and who can win in a tough swing district,” Democratic Town Committee Chairman Ned Bixler said. “We like the way Elizabeth pays attention to details, follows up on issues, and makes educated decisions.”

“I’m so pleased to be endorsed by my friends at the Goshen Democratic Town Committee,” Elizabeth Esty said. “This is a clear sign of the strength we're building with Democrats across the 5th District."

The Goshen Democratic Town Committee joins the Cheshire Democratic Town Committee, Emily's List, the National Women's Political Caucus, Women's Action for New Directions, and the Women's Campaign Fund in endorsing Elizabeth Esty.

Over four days and in five cities, Chris Donovan eagerly showed off the advantages a former organizer and current speaker of the Connecticut House enjoys in the crowded race for an open congressional seat.

Donovan was endorsed at every stop of a campaign kickoff tour last week by legislators and others, many with organizations and contacts that can fuel a campaign for the Democratic nomination to succeed U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, D-5^th District.
