Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro has easily won a 13th term representing a heavily Democratic swath of southern Connecticut.
DeLauro defeated Republican James Brown, a high school teacher from Stratford.
On the campaign trail, Brown labeled DeLauro a "rubber stamp" for President Barack Obama and called for establishing term limits for Congress members.
DeLauro was first elected to the U.S. House in 1990. She represents the Third Congressional District, which includes the cities of New Haven and Middletown.
DeLauro has emphasized her support for the full implementation of the 2010 health care reform bill signed by Obama and her efforts to protect social programs. She also has pushed for equal pay for women and access to paid sick days for all employees.
