Isn’t New Britain’s mayor a Republican? A few of Connecticut’s small cities has R mayors, correct?

Yes, New Britain has a GOP mayor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Stewart

But the city is overwhelmingly Democrat in federal elections. Here are the vote percentages from GOP presidential candidates since 2000:

2000: George W. Bush 25.26%
2004: George W. Bush 31.13%
2008: John McCain 24.23%
2012: Mitt Romney 22.74%
2016: Donald Trump 27.12%

RINO Nancy Johnson’s insistence that her home town of New Britain stay in her district after 2001 redistricting (when CT lost a CD and her district was renumbered as the CT-05) is one of the reasons why the GOP has been unable to win back that CD since Johnson lost reelection in 2006.
