Jahana Hayes, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut’s 5th District since 2019, has taken to a series of posts to highlight her ongoing work and concerns regarding federal actions impacting her constituents. Hayes, who succeeded Elizabeth Esty in this role, engages with the public through her Twitter account.
On April 30, 2025, Hayes shared information with her audience, announcing, “From your inbox to your feed I’m bringing you the Weekly Wrap – featuring a productive district work period across #CT05.” She invited followers to subscribe to her full newsletter to remain updated on how her legislative efforts affect her district.
Following this, on May 1, 2025, Hayes addressed concerns over potential closures of Social Security field offices in her state in a tweet: “There are 15 Social Security field offices across Connecticut – 6 in #CT05. Given the impulsive nature of the Trump Administration, my colleagues and I are seeking to know which offices could be closed next, why, and how services will be impacted.” The tweet underscores her monitoring of administrative decisions affecting local services.
Later the same day, Hayes highlighted her efforts to engage with local media outlets in another post, stating, “Our CT delegation connected with CT Public to identify ways Congress can best support their work to inform communities as the only locally-owned & operated television broadcaster in the state.” The tweet underscores the importance of supporting media that delivers reliable information to the public. Jahana Hayes, born in Waterbury in 1973 and a graduate of Southern Connecticut State University, continues her advocacy from her residence in Wolcott, Connecticut.
