These elections coincided with the Presidential election and a U.S. Senate election, as well as elections to the state legislature. The elections took place after the decennial 1990 United States census. Connecticut maintained its number of congressional districts, and the redistricted map was adopted on November 27, 1991.Register and manual of the State of Connecticut 1992 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015073065941&seq=678 Connecticut State Library The elections were also on the backdrop of the election of Connecticut Governor Lowell Weicker in 1990, marking the start of the A Connecticut Party. This was the first election in which the party ran candidates on the federal level. All incumbents ran for and won re-election. As no district changed partisan control, that meant the 3-3 split between the Democrats and Republicans was maintained.
