In 5th District forum, voters hear from Hayes, Glassman

With just over two weeks until the Aug. 14 primary, Democrats packed yet another town hall to hear from the candidates vying to represent the 5th Congressional District. Once again, there was no clear front runner between the party endorsed candidate Mary Glassman, and her primary challenger Jahana Hayes during a debate at Edmund Town Hall in Newtown Sunday afternoon, leaving many voters at a loss for who will earn their support. “On the one hand, Mary has all this experience, but on the other hand, generally I think the Democrats need some new blood, so that’s where some of my being torn comes from,” said Susan Kassirer, of Sandy Hook, who made it to the debate despite a car breakdown on the way.
