Jahana Hayes Delivers Huge Win for Connecticut with Historic Infrastructure Package

Once-in-a-generation investment will rebuild Connecticut’s infrastructure and create 2 million good-paying jobs annually

Yesterday, Rep. Jahana Hayes delivered a huge win for Connecticut by passing President Biden and House Democrats’ wildly popular infrastructure package. The legislation makes game-changing investments in clean infrastructure, significantly expands broadband access, strengthens our climate resilience, and provides millions of Americans with good-paying union jobs.

Thanks to Jahana Hayes, workers and families across CT-05 can expect a once-in-a-generation investment to fix their crumbling roads and bridges and rebuild their communities to be even stronger.

While extremist House Republicans overwhelmingly voted “NO” on this legislation that a majority of the American people support, Jahana Hayes and House Democrats worked to ensure Congress passed this legislation that will invest not only in our roads, but in the American people, creating thousands of good-paying union jobs in their backyard and growing the economy in a way that works better for everyone.

“Yesterday, Jahana Hayes proved once again that she would keep her promise to deliver meaningful wins for Connecticut,” said DCCC Spokesperson James Singer. “From jobs, to broadband, to clean water, and better roads, workers and families across CT-05 will feel the effects of this historic investment for years to come, and voters can be proud of the historic work Hayes accomplished to improve the lives of Connecticut families.”
