In the upcoming election for Connecticut's 5th Congressional District, the incumbent, Jahana Hayes, a Democrat and Southern Connecticut State University alumna, is seeking re-election. Her opponent, George Logan, is a 55-year-old Republican who graduated from Trinity College. Logan is not just a politician but also a musician, known for his role as the frontman for the Jimi Hendrix tribute band Electric Lady Band USA. This race is a rematch of the 2022 election.
The current composition of the United States House of Representatives includes 212 Democrats and 220 Republicans, with 3 vacancies. Connecticut's 5th District has a population demographic of 65% Non-Hispanic White, 20% Hispanic, 8% Black, and 6% Asian.
In the 2020 Presidential election, Joe Biden won the district with a margin of 10%. The 2022 House race was tightly contested, with Hayes winning by a razor-thin margin of 0.18%. The upcoming race is considered competitive.
