Encompasses much of eastern Connecticut, including 64 of the State’s 169 communities. The district contains a diverse mix of suburban, rural and coastal communities. Notable areas include the Connecticut shoreline, home of the U.S. Navy’s submarine base in Groton, and parts of the state’s agricultural heartland. The region is focused on industries like healthcare, education, tourism, and manufacturing.

The district has become increasingly competitive in recent years. Local Republicans have steadily increased their representation in municipal offices as well as the number of GOP State Legislators.
