Jahana Hayes, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Connecticut’s 5th district since 2019, has recently shared her thoughts and initiatives through a series of tweets. Hayes, who succeeded Elizabeth Esty in Congress, is known for her active engagement with constituents and advocacy on various issues.
On March 11, 2025, Hayes addressed concerns regarding Social Security in a tweet. She emphasized that "Social Security is not an entitlement, it’s a retirement insurance plan which we have paid into." She expressed concern over efforts by figures such as Trump and Musk to dismantle this essential program relied upon by many Americans.
Later the same day, at 15:59 UTC, Hayes encouraged student participation in the arts through another tweet. She announced that "It is time for #CT05 student-artists to show off their skills." Fifth District high school students were invited to submit their original artwork to the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for an opportunity to have their pieces displayed at the U.S. Capitol.
At 18:45 UTC on March 11, she reiterated her call for student artists' participation in the art competition with a similar message: "It is time for #CT05 student-artists to show off their skills." The competition aims to showcase young talent from Connecticut's Fifth District at a national level.
