The Connecticut Mirror: Mary Glassman edges Jahana Hayes for CT-5 endorsement - "Glassman, 59, and Hayes, 45, will face off in a primary in August. Hayes appeared to win by a single vote on the second ballot, but vote-switching dropped them into a tie and then yielded a 173-to-167 win for Glassman."
Hartford Courant: Democratic Panel Nullifies Two 5th Congressional District Votes, But Mary Glassman Still Nets Endorsement - "The votes, cast by members of the New Britain delegation, were nullified but that did not change the results of the convention: former Simsbury First Selectman Mary Glassman remains the endorsed candidate, edging out former national teacher of the year Jahana Hayes of Wolcott by two votes instead of four."
