Campaign Notebook: Linda McMahon 2.0

Senate

Chris Murphy (D): Murphy has gained $16,000 since earlier this week, bringing his campaign fund total to $5.59 million, reports the New Haven Register. Democratic rival Susan Bysiewicz currently has $2.4 million. Chris hosts Danbury jobs fair Friday at WCSU.

Linda McMahon (R): Politico reports that McMahon has improved since her last campaign and is now "Linda 2.0". They say that this makeover has left the candidate more "toned down."  Linda opens Danbury campaign headquarters Friday on Mill Plian Road.

Fifth District

Dan Roberti (D): Roberti told WFSB-TV that he would need more information about rival Chris Donovan's campaign investigation in order to support him if Donovan were to win the Democratic primary, reports Real Clear Politics. 

Justin Bernier (R): The Register Citizen reports that Bernier believes the fifth district Republicans' pro-life stance needs to be stronger, like it was in the 2010 election. His new television ad reflects his stance on the issue.
