HARTFORD — Connecticut’s presidential primary is Tuesday, April 26, and candidates will be in state this week hoping to sway the vote. On Wednesday, Chelsea Clinton campaigned for her mother at Dunns River, a Jamaican restaurant in Hartford's North End. She spoke about voter registration, universal healthcare and the federal deficit, in addition to topics near-and-dear to Connecticut residents' hearts.

"Gun control is one of those issues that somehow does feel more deeply personal," said Chelsea Clinton, referring to her fairly new status as a mother and how that's affected her passion regarding the issue. "I think every day about the Sandy Hook families."

She discussed gun control in the context of the vacancy at the Supreme Court.

"With Justice [Antonin] Scalia on the bench, the court actually had an inconsistent record on gun control. Sometimes it upheld local and state gun control measures as being compliant with the second amendment and sometimes it struck them down," said the former first daughter. "It really matters to me that my mom is the only person running for president who has a strong consistent record on gun control."

An audience member with a West Indies heritage asked Chelsea Clinton about immigration reform.

"Immigration reform was certainly one of the issues that my mom has made a centerpiece of her campaign and she has said would be on her first 100 days agenda," Chelsea Clinton told the crowd and reiterated in a post-campaign event press gaggle.

Democrat Hillary Clinton will make a campaign appearance in Connecticut on Thursday and will hold a gun violence discussion in Hartford. Her campaign said she will meet with family members of those who fell victim to gun violence, including some of the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy.

That event will be held at the Wilson-Gray YMCA, located at 444 Albany Avenue at 11:30 a.m.
