Caligiuri camp is staying optimistic as Murphy’s lead continues to grow

Campaign volunteers are encouraging people to stay optimistic as incumbent Democrat Chris Murphy’s lead over Republican Sam Caligiuri widens.

“We’re still within 5,000 votes and Waterbury is still on the board,” one volunteer just said over the microphone. “We’ll look back and laugh at how nervous we were three hours ago.”

The latest results showed Murphy took Avon, Cheshire. Farmington, Newtown and Plainville.

The latest totals I am getting is Murphy 73,561 and Caligiuri 68,674.
