A primary on August 13 will choose Republican nominees for November’s general election for the U.S. Senate and Connecticut’s 4^th congressional district.

Seven days of early voting start on August 5.

In Weston, these are the only contests, and there is no Democratic primary.

For Representative in Congressional District 4, the candidates are Bob MacGuffie, of Fairfield (the party’s endorsed candidate) and Michael Goldstein, of Greenwich. The winner will face incumbent Democratic Rep. Jim Himes.
