Lynn Caligiuri, who worked on all of Gilchrest's reelection campaigns, called Kratovil's campaign "the best opportunity to continue the thoughtful, moderate approach that Gilchrest has brought to the district for nearly two decades" and endorsed the Democrat. [...]

"Obviously many of us were disappointed in the Republican primary results, but we now have an opportunity to send someone to Washington to continue to represent our values and end the partisan attacks and divisiveness that has rendered Congress ineffective and unresponsive," said Caligiuri. "Frank Kratovil is the right choice."
