Simsbury RTC

Today’s attack on Israel is a sobering reminder that our greatest ally in the Middle East remains under constant attack from Iran and the proxy terrorists funded by weakened policies of the Biden/Harris Administration. My opponent voted against funding for the Iron Dome, that saved lives today, she has remained silent while terrorist sympathizers right here in the US support this violence, and she was one of only 40 members of Congress to tell the Biden/Harris Administration to stop arming Israel. I condemn these attacks on our ally Israel, I stand strong and remain committed to supporting Israel in the face of continued violence. Pray for Israel.

Democrat Rep. Jahana Hayes accidentally tells the truth: "Democrats are committed to putting politics over people."

The latest exchange in the debate on 5th CD debates. The Rep-Am published an op-ed from GOP challenger George Logan on Aug. 22 that stated Democratic incumbent Jahana Hayes had not accepted one of several invitations from debate organizers. Hayes said she accepted one on Aug. 16.

Months ago, our campaign began fielding invitations from various sponsors to participate in debates and forums in advance of this November’s election, and we said yes to ALL of them. We have been flexible and responsive on format and schedule, yet not a single debate is confirmed, and as of right now, we know at least one invitation has been declined by the incumbent. While frustrating, it comes as no surprise, given the incumbent’s failure to compromise as a legislator and her unwillingness to work across the aisle. As a candidate, debates are central to allow the public to hear not only where you stand on issues, but most importantly learn a little about your character. As a legislator, debates are critical to vetting issues and shaping legislation. Debates are critical to protecting a healthy democracy, which is why I say yes.

I've spent the last couple hours getting in touch with municipal leaders impacted by the flash flooding. As the floods progress, I'm keeping our neighbors and friends in mind. Stay safe!

No matter what, family comes first. After the microburst in Simsbury on Friday, my brother Hector was faced with damage on his property, including a fallen tree. So I made sure everything was ok, which is what any brother would do. All around the greater Simsbury area, families are doing exactly what we did here today. Thank you to our first responders and all in our community. This community has a lot of hard work ahead of us to repair the damages but little by little, we will rebuild.

A statement regarding the governor’s recent public opposition to Democrat leadership in the state legislature announcing a push to enact a statewide property tax next year.

.@RepJahanaHayes on the record: “Kamala knows what it takes to move us forward as a country, and I am proud to endorse her for President of the United States.” Jahana Hayes off the record: “putting Harris atop the ticket would be setting her up for failure.”

On May 20, the International Criminal Court attempted to arrest President Bibi @netanyahu for defending his country, Israel. And now, they must be held accountable for this ridiculous effort. Today, House Republicans passed the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, which imposes sanctions on people who aid efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute Americans or Israelis. These unfounded, antisemitic, and illegitimate acts must be penalized.

Congresswoman @JahanaHayesCT voted to allow illegal immigrants to vote in US local elections, and now she's trying to explain her way out of it. There are no ifs ands or buts about it. The only people who should be voting in our US elections are US citizens. End of story. We MUST preserve the integrity of our elections.

Simsbury’s Democrats renominated our sitting State Rep @MOsborneCT to represent us in Hartford!

I am disappointed, but not surprised. While 52 of her Democrat colleagues crossed the aisle to ensure election integrity, @JahanaHayesCT showed again she puts politics over policy. She just voted to allow illegal immigrants to VOTE in our US Elections. I believe to protect our democracy, only United States citizens should be allowed to vote in our elections.
