Jahana Hayes, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Connecticut's 5th District, has shared several updates on social media that highlight her recent activities and priorities. Her tweets focus on Women's History Month, housing advocacy, and energy rates in Connecticut.
On March 25, 2025, Hayes emphasized the importance of Women's History Month by encouraging collective efforts to educate and inspire each other. She stated, "This #WomensHistoryMonth, let us join together and continue to educate, inspire, and uplift each other. As we reaffirm our commitment to equality, we continue to build on the legacy of those who came before us."
Later that day, she discussed a meeting with the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials from her district during their advocacy day. She noted their focus areas by tweeting: "Productive meeting with the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials from #CT05 during their 2025 advocacy day. Their priorities include strengthening rental assistance programs and preserving & creating affordable housing."
In another tweet posted on March 25th, Hayes addressed the issue of high energy rates in Connecticut. She highlighted the role of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in protecting consumers from price fluctuations: "CT energy rates are among the most expensive in the country. The CFTC plays a crucial role in shielding consumers from price volatility and higher out-of-pocket costs for home heating oil and natural gas."
