Rich elites and politicians in DC have soaked working families in Connecticut dry.

They trade off insider information; they pass laws to lock in monopolies for their friends in big business, and they even engineer our laws to lower wages at home and send jobs abroad.

But they’re not stopping there.

Politicians like Jahana Hayes want to raise taxes on working families, raise your energy bills by shutting down new sources of power, and flood our country with cheap labor to suppress American wages.

In Congress, my North Star won’t be what my party leadership or any President tells me, but always what is best for working families.

That means cutting taxes for working families, not just the rich.

It means unlocking all energy sources so we can lower emissions while keeping energy affordable and the lights on.

And it means exposing the corrupt system in DC that has transferred wealth from working-class communities to DC and foreign countries.

I am praying for Senator Murphy and that he makes a full and speedy recovery.

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

Chris Murphy’s chief says the 53-year-old Democratic senator had a stroke.

“Yesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke. He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery.”

Election Day is three days away!

Early voting is open until Sunday (11/1), or you can make a plan to vote on Tuesday, November 3rd!

This race will come down to just a handful of votes, so don't listen to anyone who says your voice doesn't matter.

Get out and vote!

Jahana Hayes's sanctuary and open-border immigration policies are sending Connecticut in the wrong direction.

And the consequences have been deadly. From fentanyl overdoses that skyrocketed during the Biden administration to the tragedy that occurred in North Haven just two weeks ago, we can't afford two more years of Jahana Hayes.

On November 3rd, let's end the chaos and elect a common-sense team that will put the safety and affordability of Connecticut families ahead of party politics.

[Chris Shea @SheaforCongress]

This one hits very close to home. My station is the station that responded to this call. Someone close to me, pronounced this young man dead.

The tragic and preventable death of Ryan O’Shea in North Haven is a reminder of the consequences of Jahana Hayes’s open-border policies.

For 8 years, Jahana Hayes has supported and advanced the very policies that incentivized and allowed Guillermo Carmona-Lopez, an illegal alien who had already been deported twice, to stay in the U.S. withou authorization. 

When I am elected to Congress, I will work with both parties to keep our borders secure and end the deadly sanctuary policies that Jahana Hayes and Ned Lamont have supported.

The man who was driving the wrong way on I-91 South in North Haven earlier this month, resulting in a crash that killed a University of New Haven student, was in the country illegally, federal officials confirmed Friday.

THIS! is what’s wrong with sanctuary policies.!

[Blue Lives Matter @bluelivesmtr]

University of New Haven hockey captain Ryan O’Shea was k*lled on I-91 by a twice-deported Mexican national driving the wrong way.... in SANCTUARY STATE CONNECTICUT.
⠀
Ryan O’Shea, 21, was heading back to campus after a hockey game when Guillermo Carmona-Lopez slammed into him head-on in North Haven. The impact forced his Honda Accord into other vehicles. He was pronounced d*ed at the scene.
⠀
O’Shea served as senior captain of the club hockey team and studied criminal justice. He interned with the NYPD and planned to become a police officer.
⠀
Border Patrol arrested Carmona-Lopez in May 2013 after he crossed illegally from Mexico. Agents issued an expedited removal order and removed him from the country. He later crossed again near the Rio Grande Valley and received a final order of removal that same month.
⠀
Connecticut’s Trust Act under Ned Lamont restricted local police from working with ICE. The state still gave him a driver’s license. He remained free to drive on I-91.
⠀
Another American is gone because sanctuary rules let a twice-removed man stay on the road. Remember this when you vote.

A decade in DC is enough.

That’s why I support term limits for Congress:
- 10 years or a 5-term limit for members of the House
- 12 years or a 2-term limit for members of the Senate

When politicians stay in DC too long, they lose touch with the people who sent them there. Term limits are a common-sense way to bring new blood to DC and keep our leaders responsive to the people.

[Chris Shea @SheaforCongress]

We’re 1 week from one of the most pivotal elections for our state and our country!

Your voice matters because it can be the difference between a representative who fights for you and the 8-year incumbent who’s let us down, and it could come down to just a handful of votes.

Please make a plan to vote on or by November 3rd so we can lower costs, bring good-paying jobs back to our district, and cut taxes for working families.

[Chris Shea @SheaforCongress]

Jahana Hayes for…Senate?

If you turn on the TV, you’ll hear Jahana asking for your vote for Congress, but won’t she isn’t telling you is that she’s running around DC saying a very different thing.

As we speak, she’s raising thousands of dollars and courting the most corrupt stakeholders in DC so she can run ditch her seat in Congress to run for the Senate in 2028.

It’s a trusted honor to represent the Northwest Corner and to fight for our district.

But the sad truth is that Jahana sees our seat in Congress as a springboard for more power.

Let’s send a message to corrupt DC politicians like Jahana Hayes on November 3rd: We’re done with politics as usual.

[Chris Shea @SheaforCongress]

You worked for it. You earned it.

In Congress, I’ll always protect Social Security and work across party lines to protect it for Americans of every generation.

@robhcck Thank you for your support!

[Chris Shea @SheaforCongress]

Jahana Hayes is terrified.

She knows what everyone on the ground does: workers, students, and families across our district of every party are joining our movement.

That's why she just begged her dark money allies in DC for $250,000 to bail out her flailing campaign.
Jahana Hayes can become a political sellout if she wants, but I'll be damned if I let her sell out the hard working people in our district.

If you're sick of corruption in DC and wish you had a fighter your in corner please consider chipping in anything you can to help us fight back against Jahana's dark money machine.

Your support helps us mobilize voters on Election Day and counter the dishonest and disgusting smears that Jahana's consultants are flinging our way.

Please join us in the homestretch so we can flip this seat and put the working families in our district first for a change.
