There is one competitive district in Connecticut:

  • Connecticut’s 5th district: Rep. Jahana Hayes has represented this longtime Democratic-held district since 2019, but it includes some of the reddest parts of the state, including Wolcott, Thomaston and Watertown counties. Hayes is up against former Connecticut State Sen. George Logan, who ran for the same district unsuccessfully in the midterms. It’s Lean D on the Fox News Power Rankings.
