Born in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1973, Hayes replaced her predecessor Elizabeth Esty in 2019 and has since been active in engaging with her community.
On May 1, 2025, Hayes tweeted, “We are always happy to help constituents visiting Washington D.C. make the most of their time. This spring we secured a White House tour for a family from #Cheshire. Planning a trip? Contact us today to reserve a tour: https://t.co/IfC4fJNKZG” This highlights her office’s commitment to assisting Connecticut residents in securing tours of significant landmarks, such as the White House.
Later the same day, she posted another update “CT State Council of Machinists on the Hill to stress the importance of protecting the right to organize, promoting fair trade policies, & safeguarding social security. IAM workers are impacted by legislative actions- and their voices must be heard.” This tweet underscores her acknowledgment of the importance of legislative advocacy for machinists, underscoring the impact of lawmaking on these workers.
The following day, on May 2, 2025, Hayes announced “My office is always here to help #CT05. Casework On Your Corner is back at Meriden City Hall TUESDAY, May 6th, starting at 11:00 AM. No appointment necessary.” This reflects her office’s ongoing efforts to provide assistance directly within her constituents’ communities through events like Casework On Your Corner, which provides ready access to congressional services without prior appointments.
