Jahana was a history teacher — so she won’t let Republicans get away with rewriting history:

If there is one thing you can be sure of, John, it’s this: Jahana Hayes will never back down from the fight for working families, no matter who is on the other side of that battle. Jahana stood up to Education Secretary Linda McMahon and called out her consistent contradictions and …

We will not let them run away from this

Republicans in the House of Representatives ended our congressional session early — even though Speaker Johnson knows that we have urgent business to attend to. Americans on both sides of the aisle are demanding transparency and accountability, but Speaker Johnson rushed GOP members…

Fighting to make your life easier, not harder

Despite the roadblocks put up by Donald Trump and the GOP majority in the House, I remain focused on delivering for the people across the 5th District. Donald Trump has signed his disastrous legislation into law, cementing the priorities of the billionaire class over the people powe…
