Waterbury is in the US 5th Congressional District represented by Democrat Jahana Hayes. Voters in November, 2024, will have a choice between Hayes and Republican challenger George Logan. The 5th District is comprised of cities in Fairfield County, Hartford County, Litchfield County and New Haven County.

This hour, we talk to candidates for Connecticut’s fifth congressional district – Congresswoman Jahana Hayes and challenger George Logan.

This show is part of a series of candidate interviews on The Wheelhouse. We are talking with Republicans and Democrats, incumbents and challengers, in Connecticut’s congressional districts. Each candidate will have an equal amount of time to talk one-on-one with host Frankie Graziano, followed by some analysis from our guest panelists.

GUESTS:

Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-Conn.) faced Republican George Logan two years ago in a re-election bid that came down to 2,000 votes. They'll meet again in November as Hayes looks for a fourth term representing Connecticut's fifth congressional district.
