The reason why current US House of Representatives: CT 5th Congressional District Rep, Elisabeth Esty, is not running in re-elections
5th congressional district: Located in the northwestern part of the state, the district runs from Meriden and New Britain in central Connecticut, westward to Danbury and then surrounding Housatonic Valley, encompassing the Farmington Valley, Upper Naugatuck River Valley, and the Litchfield Hills.
