Milford says it best!
In the Hayes house we’re committed to service. We’ve spent our entire lives working to improve our community and that has not changed for me- it’s only gotten stronger in Congress.
Our family…is the same as your family!
The contrast could not be more

Earlier tonight, the Office of the Secretary of the State released a statement confirming the margin of victory for me to be 1,842 votes,which exceeds any statutory margin of victory that would necessitate a recount.

I attended the Brass City Jazz Fest in

I’m really proud to share our brand-new campaign video.
Teachers are nation-builders. That's our job — to affect change, and to improve outcomes. But that's the job of Congress, too. So I'm running for Congress.
Watch, share, then join Team Hayes:

It’s uncanny! Almost like you knew that this was the source of my anguish today. We will get there sis...we will get there.
I dream a world where Dems intensely focused on persuading Trumpers would bring that same energy (instead) to feeding & housing people, healthcare for all, dismantling structural racism, mass incarceration, closing the racial wealth gap, police accountability & climate change.
