Jahana Hayes Secures Reelection in Connecticut's 5th District

Democrat Jahana Hayes defeats Republican George Logan, maintaining her seat amid controversy over her support for CAIR.

Jahana Hayes, the first Black woman elected to Congress from Connecticut, wins her third term in a closely watched race.
Hayes defeated her Republican challenger, George Logan, for the second time, after narrowly winning against him in 2022.
The Associated Press called the race for Hayes with her leading by 6 points and 88% of votes counted.
Hayes faced criticism for her support of CAIR, a group with controversial ties, but maintained her stance on representing all constituents.
Logan campaigned on issues like inflation and clean energy but was unable to break the Democrats' long-standing hold on the district.
