The situation and the solution

John, here is the situation: Allies of Donald Trump have poured resources into CT-05 as a new poll shows that Congresswoman Jahana Hayes is barely leading, 49%-46%, within the polling margin of error. All while Trump is doubling down on his rhetoric, excusing the January 6 insurrect…

John, there are 5 days left

John, there are only 5 days left in this election. My opponent refuses to say the name Donald Trump, but he has the support of Trump allies who are trying everything they can to win this district. MAGA Republicans nationwide understand the importance of our race. Flipping it red is …

John, I am working hard to make sure our campaign breaks through the volume of GOP attacks we have had to face in these final weeks. The National Republican Congressional Committee has helped George Logan with television ads and a daily drumbeat of press releases slamming our campai…

49%-46%

John, a new poll shows Jahana ahead just 49 percent to 46 percent right before our final FEC deadline. If we do not file a strong report, Republicans could see a close race and our campaign low on resources as a prime opportunity to flip this seat red — and possibly solidify the MAG…

BREAKING: New poll shows us narrowly ahead, within the margin of error in CT-05

John, CT-05 is a dead heat. A new poll shows us ahead just 49%-46%, within the margin of error — and MAGA allies of Donald Trump are spending MILLIONS to defeat me. We have 20 days left in this campaign, and tonight is our last FEC deadline of this election. Please, John, make an u…

John, can you pitch in to fund our ads and voter outreach?

John, when George Logan was asked in our debate who he was voting for in the 2024 Presidential election, he could not even say the name. He refused to speak the words Donald Trump out loud — apparently because there was a camera in the room running a live broadcast. And because Loga…

George Logan cannot run on his record

BREAKING: House Republican super PAC breaks fundraising record

11 to 0

John, our campaign just released a new ad as part of our closing argument — you have to see it: As a member of Congress, I have authored 11 bills signed into law in six years. As a Connecticut senator, Logan authored zero. I stand on my record of delivering for families. Watch our n…

My debate is tomorrow and I need your help, John

John, the people of CT-05 will hear two contrasting visions for our community tomorrow night in the WFSB 5th Congressional District debate, but it will not only be CT-05 voters tuning in. My seat is a top-five NRCC target, which means George Logan will have some powerful allies watc…

The New York Republican Party is behind a paid effort to flood CT-05 with negative attacks against me

John, in the home stretch of this race, I am committed to focusing on the needs and issues facing the people of CT-05. I am doing it in the face of some brutal — and to be honest with you, disturbing — GOP attacks. The NRCC is pouring money into television ads across our district. A…

I do not want to focus on the attacks, but you have to see this
