“As a new poll showed the 4th Congressional District race dead even, Democrat Diane Farrell pulled out a new weapon from afar Tuesday, bringing in the governor of Puerto Rico to stump for her.

Farrell is hoping the large and growing Hispanic vote will make the difference in her effort to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Chris Shays and help Democrats regain control of Congress.

The Fairfield County district is better known for the rich towns of Connecticut’s Gold Coast, but it also is among 12 to 15 highly competitive congressional races around the country where Hispanic voters account for 10 percent of more of the electorate.”
