Shae looks to unseat Hayes in Connecticut’s 5th District
HARTFORD, Conn. (WFSB) - Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District races have historically been close, with incumbent Rep. Jahana Hayes staving off Republican challengers.
Tuesday, voters will decide between the Democrat Hayes and Republican Chris Shae.
Jonathan De Barros is campaigning as a write in candidate.
Shae has campaigned as a veteran and firefighter and promised to extend tax relief from the federal budget.
Hayes said the race isn’t that close, but said she doesn’t take for granted needing to win over voters to serve her fifth consecutive term in Congress.
