Did You Know There Was An Election In November In Connecticut's Third Congressional District?

I bet you did not realize there was an election going on in Connecticut's Third Congressional District?  This district has been represented for too long by avowed socialist/ultra liberal Democrat Rosa DeLauro.  She has been in office for a mere 29 years since 1991 and is now 77 years old.  I truly do not know what she has done for our district other than tow the Connecticut Democrat Party line in Washington bringing little of value to our district while usually condemning any ideas brought forth by the Republican Party especially during the Trump Administration just as she did during the Bush Administrations.  What I find ironic about DeLauro is that she recently wrote a long winded piece on why it was ok to remove the Christopher Columbus statue out of Wooster Square in New Haven.  After reading her rhetoric on this subject I truly wonder why any Italian-American voter in the Third Congressional District would want to vote for her again?  But then again DeLauro toes the party line day in and day out with no results whatsoever for the legal citizens of Connecticut's Third Congressional District.  I guess that is the power of her stale incumbency here in Connecticut.
This election we see a powerful challenger to her. Milford Businesswoman Margaret Streicker is running a strong campaign to unseat DeLauro in 2020.  She has been very active in her campaigning and fund raising which I am sure is raising eyebrows in the staic and politically correct DeLauro campaign.
I am still wondering what DeLauro has done for her district over the past thirty years? 
I really can not see anything and I truly wonder why she is still in office? 
Margaret Streicker represents a breath of fresh air to Connecticut's Third Congressional District.  She stated on her website recently:  (https://streicker2020.com/priorities)
"Connecticut pays the 4th highest property taxes and 2nd highest combined sales and income taxes in the nation and we are getting less and less for it. It’s time to reverse the trend of skyrocketing taxes and lower them to allow hard-working families to stay in the neighborhoods we all know and love."
And DeLauro in my opinion really never makes any statements whatsoever about either the massive taxes we pay in her district nor any type of tax relief in her thirty years in office.  One can also argue that there has been no improvements either in the quality of life in New Haven and or the Third Congressional District since her first term.  For example, "Obamacare" has driven health insurance costs through the roof and has done nothing to improve health care in our district.  Also I really wonder how long our economic recession has to continue in Connecticut's Third Congressional District.  It has been a mere thirty years now.  
We need a major change in the people who represent us in Connecticut for Congress.  Rosa DeLauro's time has passed and she needs to get out of office.  I know that my family and friends will be voting for Republican Margaret Streicker for Connecticut's Third Congressional District.   The time is now for a change.  Connecticut's Third Congressional District can not afford another two years of the failed policies of our current Representative.  Enough is enough.
