About

Elected: 2018 (4th term)

  • Background: Former National Teacher of the Year before winning her House seat. Her life story of teen motherhood and educational advancement defines her brand.
  • Committees: Agriculture, Education and the Workforce
  • District: Western Connecticut including Waterbury, Danbury, and rural areas. Mixed urban and suburban with working-class and rural components.
  • Ukrainian American community: Connecticut overall has one of the most established Ukrainian American communities in New England, with historic anchor institutions in the Hartford and Stamford metros that extend into her district.

Bio Hayes brings a teacher's moral framing to her politics, focused on children, families, and community resilience. Her path from teen mother to Teacher of the Year to Congress gives her credibility on protecting children and enabling education under hardship.

Ukraine Record

  • Has voted for Ukraine aid in every recent bill.
  • Has supported Ukraine aid bills during her tenure.
  • Not a lead advocate, but reliably votes with the pro-Ukraine majority.

Advocacy Insight

  • Ask them to: Sign onto the REPO Act (S. 2918 / H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, and the Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104), which protects Ukrainians in the U.S. from deportation. Engage her on abducted Ukrainian children.
  • Why it works with them: Protection of children. Education during conflict. The moral case against Russia abducting Ukrainian children.
  • Your connection: Connecticut Ukrainian American community in Waterbury and Danbury that overlaps with her district.
  • Avoid: Expecting her to lead. Ask for sign-on and public statements focused on children.

Delaware

Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

    Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP].
    
    I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025.
    
    Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do.
    
    Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104?
    
    Thank you.
