Caligiuri challenged Democratic incumbent Chris Murphy in Connecticut's 5th congressional district.
Caligiuri first planned to challenge Democratic incumbent Chris Dodd in the 2010 U.S. Senate election, as he indicated in February 2009.[7] On March 18, 2009, he filed his paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for the seat.[8] On March 31, 2009, Caligiuri formally announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives instead, although he didn't formally end his Senate campaign until November 24, 2009. On May 21, 2010, Caligiuri received the state Republican Party's endorsement at its convention by winning 68% of the delegate votes on the first ballot. On August 10, 2010, Caligiuri defeated challengers Justin Bernier and Mark Greenberg in the Republican primary.[9]
In the November 2 general election, Caligiuri lost to incumbent Murphy by a 54% to 46% margin.[10]
