What Connecticut voters will decide in the 2026 elections

Statewide and congressional races

Connecticut voters will choose a governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of the state, attorney general and representatives for all five U.S. House districts on Nov. 3, 2026.

NBC News’ 2026 Connecticut election page lists Democratic incumbent Ned Lamont and Republican Ryan Fazio for governor. It lists Democratic incumbent Susan Bysiewicz and Republican Matt Corey for lieutenant governor.

For secretary of the state, the page lists Democratic incumbent Stephanie Thomas and Republican Peter Lumaj. For attorney general, it lists Democratic incumbent William Tong and Republican John Bolton.

All five congressional districts are also up for election. The current representatives are John Larson in the 1st District, Joe Courtney in the 2nd, Rosa DeLauro in the 3rd, Jim Himes in the 4th and Jahana Hayes in the 5th. All five are Democrats.

Connecticut’s current U.S. senators are Democrats Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal.

Connecticut’s recent presidential vote

Connecticut supported the Democratic presidential nominee in each of the past three elections. Democrats received 54.7% of the state vote in 2016, 59.3% in 2020 and 56.4% in 2024. Republicans received 41% in 2016, 39.2% in 2020 and 41.9% in 2024.

In 2024, Kamala Harris carried Connecticut by 14.5 percentage points and received the state’s seven electoral votes. That was her eighth-largest margin among the 50 states. Presidential voting history offers context for voters, but the 2026 contests are separate races for state and congressional offices.
