GOP Shake-Up: Sen. Ryan Fazio won the Connecticut Republican governor endorsement unanimously after Erin Stewart suspended her campaign amid an investigation into alleged misuse of a New Britain city credit card—an abrupt pivot that left the party scrambling for unity. Legal & Civil Rights: The U.S. Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act redistricting ruling is reverberating beyond the South, with Democrats warning it could reshape how race factors into maps as the fight moves north. CT Culture Calendar: This week’s arts push is loud and varied—world ballet lands in Hartford and Stamford, New Haven gets metal mayhem, and Willimantic’s 3rd Thursday returns as a downtown block party. Community & Policy: New Britain launched a small grants program for local arts nonprofits, while lawmakers eye oversight as youth sports costs rise and private equity influence gets louder. Health & Research: Yale Cancer Center researchers are set to bring major ASCO updates, while Connecticut’s DOJ also sued over a state mask ban for federal officers.
