John,

When it's time to stand up to Trump’s MAGA allies and hold extremist Republicans accountable, Rep. Jahana Hayes (CT-05) shows up and delivers.

Whether she's in Washington, D.C. or back home in Connecticut, Jahana brings her community with her — and reminds us what public service should look like.

That's exactly why Republicans are targeting her.

Split a donation between Jahana Hayes' campaign and EMILYs List today to help defend this critical U.S. House seat:

A former National Teacher of the Year, Jahana knows firsthand what students, educators, and families need — and she's not afraid to speak up.

When the Trump administration tried to gut the Department of Education, Jahana called it out — directly confronting the secretary for failing to support students and teachers.
She's sounding the alarm on House Republicans giving Trump a free pass to profit from shady cryptocurrency schemes, with no oversight and no accountability.
And when the secretary of labor couldn't explain how the department would protect young people in Job Corps programs, Jahana raised the alarm about dangerous data-sharing practices with zero transparency.

This is what leadership looks like. And it's why Republicans are eyeing her seat in 2026 — hoping to replace her with a rubber-stamp MAGA extremist.

We can't let it happen. Not in CT-05. Not anywhere.
