WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton is headlining a rally for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Chris Murphy in Waterbury.

The Sunday afternoon event was originally planned for an outdoor park but was moved to the Palace Theater because of the approach of Hurricane Sandy.

Murphy has represented Connecticut's 5th Congressional District since 2007. He is locked in a tight race with Republican Linda McMahon for the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman.

McMahon is holding a "Job Creators for Linda" rally on Sunday in Watertown. She is expected to be joined by Sheila Bair, the former chairwoman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
