While residents of western Connecticut were cleaning up from deadly floods this past August, Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes slurped down oysters, pampered herself at a pricey salon and traveled to Martha’s Vineyard and the Democratic National Convention in Chicago — spending nearly $13,000 in the process, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show.

The three-term incumbent flew to the Windy City just as her home state was hit with a severe storm on Sunday, Aug. 18, which caused more than $206 million in damages to bridges, roads, businesses and homes due to flooding, mudslides and landslides.

More than 100 residents were evacuated, and at least two elderly women died when they were swept away by floodwaters.

How ghetto. That type loves anything that “looks rich” to them. She was undoubtedly buying for her entire entourage.

What is selfish Halloween Witch.
I didn’t finish the article, I was so disgusted.
Is she at very least being prosecuted or charged with malfeasance?

$13,000 on a week-long trip on the taxpayers’ dime? Nice work, if you can get it.

“Her district must include Hartford.”

Surprisingly, it doesn’t. It comes up against the far western suburbs of Hartford though. It’s a majority white district. Cook’s Political Report rates it only D+3.

She came within 2000 votes of losing her seat in the 2022 election.

Yep...Old Tom, that most enlightened of slavers, nailed it. Jahana is nothing more than an egg-sucking Rat. The real problem is the majority of voters in the Connecticut 5th congressional district.
