Jahana Hayes, an active member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut’s 5th district since 2019, has recently communicated a series of tweets addressing various legislative and constituency matters. Serving in both Waterbury and D.C., Hayes remains committed to her roles and responsibilities in Congress.
On March 31, 2025, Hayes expressed her support for expanding healthcare services. "Many lack access to dental, vision, & hearing care because of high out-of-pocket costs. I am a cosponsor of the Medicare and Medicaid Dental, Vision, & Hearing Benefit Act to make sure these services are covered & reduce barriers to care." Her advocacy highlights the ongoing challenges related to healthcare accessibility and affordability.
In another tweet on March 31, 2025, Hayes extended an opportunity for students. "Are you a college or graduate student looking for an internship in Congress? My Waterbury & D.C. Offices are accepting applications for Summer 2025, and the program will run for 8 weeks between June 2, 2025 - July 25, 2025. Applications are due Friday, 5/2/25 at 5PM." This invitation is poised to attract aspiring individuals seeking hands-on governmental experience.
Later that day, Hayes reaffirmed her dedication to equality and inclusiveness. "PROUD to be one of more than 190 Members of the Congressional Equality Caucus in the 119th Congress. On this Trans Visibility Day and everyday- I am committed to defending the rights & dignity of the LGBTQI+ community." Her stance represents a broader commitment to the rights of marginalized communities.
