HARTFORD, Conn. — Republicans see an opportunity this year to flip a U.S. House seat in blue Connecticut, banking on a candidate who insists he doesn’t fit the mold of many GOP contenders this year who are publicly loyal to former President Donald Trump and the party’s conservative agenda.
George Logan, a former state senator and mechanical engineer, has pitched a message that he isn’t a “typical Republican” in his race against U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes, a Democrat seeking a third term. In one of his TV ads, he’s seen standing next to a box with those exact words scrawled across it.
