Jahana Hayes is a former social studies teacher who was Teacher of the Year in 2016. She's running for Congress in Connecticut District 5 on a platform emphasizing her two passions, education and equity, as well as healthcare, environment, and much more.
"My decision to run for Congress is inspired by the people in my community who have become disengaged because they struggle to find themselves reflected in the narrative. People with real stories, challenges and successes that never make it into the discussion. I am running because I see myself in every student, teacher, mom, sister, daughter, friend, neighbor and stranger I meet, and their story is my story." -- Jahana Hayes
