Fighting for Equal Representation
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, The Collective PAC — the nation’s largest political action committee dedicated to increasing Black political engagement, representation, and power across all levels of government — congratulates Representative Jahana Hayes on her re-election primary victory.
Representative Jahana Hayes is running for re-election to Connecticut’s fifth Congressional District. Rep. Hayes became the first Black Congresswoman to represent Connecticut when she was elected in November 2018. During her first two terms in office, Rep. Hayes has become a proven leader and champion of immigration reform, gun violence prevention, veteran issues, social justice, transportation, and education. Recently, Rep. Hayes sponsored the Access to Baby Formula Act, which the President signed into law, having several Air Force planes from Europe distributing baby formula to address the crisis.
Founders of The Collective PAC, Quentin James and Stefanie Brown James, released the following statement:
“The Collective PAC is proud to congratulate Representative Jahana Hayes on her primary victory for re-election in Connecticut. Rep. Hayes continues to build upon her legacy of social justice, education, and immigration reform. We are proud to have partnered with Rep.
