Democrat Rep. Jahana Hayes projected to defeat GOP challenger for 2nd time in Connecticut

Democratic incumbent Rep. Jahana Hayes is projected to win another term representing Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District, defeating Republican challenger George Logan for the second time. Hayes, the first Black woman and Black Democrat to represent Connecticut in Congress, has won previous elections by double digits. Logan campaigned on fixing inflation, clean energy, veterans issues, and securing the border. Hayes, a former teacher, serves on committees related to agriculture and education and is a member of various caucuses. This victory ensures that the district continues to be represented by a Democrat, as it has been for the past 18 years.
